Balls out actually refers to engine govenors. Additionally if a person AMAB is transitioning you may well not call them men, but if you asked I guess I would take your word for it.

Yep, "balls out" and "balls to the wall" are respectively the steam train and fighter plane expressions for "full speed" (similar to "full throttle" or "pedal to the metal"). Neither expression has anything to do with testicles.
In any event censoring the word "balls" (even when used euphemistically) is a bit weird.
