These States Are Debating Castration for Sex Crimes. Experts Call It Cruel and Pointless.
Make sex crimes punishable by castration -> Make it a sex crime to be trans/gay/lesbian -> commit genocide, by definition.
Cool
Sadly, that's exactly the plan.
Make being transfem punishable by castration? Yay free bottom surgery!
(This is a joke)

It’s like the death penalty, once you kill someone it’s too late to say sorry when new evidence comes out and they are innocent.
Besides all the points everyone else has mentioned:
“Even if just one rapist changes his mind about raping a child, I will take that.”
Always be skeptical anytime anyone uses an argument of this form. There are tradeoffs for everything, but this phrasing only serves to stop people from weighing them fairly.
Oh, and the above quote comes from the co-sponser of the bill, who is a Democrat. Just in case you thought this was a Republican problem.
Draconian laws have the effect of turning abuse into murder. On the other hand, we absolutely need to be castrating abusive parents. Break the skull of your infant, it gets taken away, have another one. Over and over. This society is so damn ignorant.
There are places that will execute you for it, but the crime still happens there. Criminals never think they will get caught.
Any time they wanna make a new punishment or criminalize some behavior I figure it’s just because they don’t plan on applying it to white people.
I’ve never figured wrong on this.
Iranian morality police bad. American morality police good.
I don't know that'd I call preventing child rape "morality policing" for either state but I suppose it is.
I'd argue that the means are barbaric and obviously ripe for political abuse and corruption.
if they surgically remove the testicles the person loses their ability to make testosterone and will be dependent on weekly injections for the rest of their life, without hormones your bones get brittle. in addition to the mental trauma. this is pretty grim.
You think they care about any of that? Let them die, is what they say
i don't, I want to emphasize the depth of this cruelty to the folks reading this article
Could anyone find his balls?
if he had balls, he'd stand up to his handlers adn stop doing their bidding.
Bad idea, there are a lot of false convictions. If you wrongly get catsrated that is it.
Everything is so fucking backwards right now it's insane. We've hardly given progress a fair shake.
Bunch of grunting fools.
If the 8th amendment doesn't apply to this, idk what it would ever apply to.
Optimistic of you to think there's still a constitution.
oh, there is. They're using it as TP.
Next bill up for vote: Cutting off hands of shoplifters, and cutting children in half for parents fighting a custody battle.
In most of the southern states, having sex with children is legal if you marry them first. (And minors can’t file for divorce!)
Coincidentally, (IIRC) most child marriages are because of pregnancy.
My teenage mother didn’t marry my father (she was 15, he was in his twenties), but she did immediately find another guy to marry and get knocked up by. She was so fucked up by this that she told me that my biological father was an entirely different adult man (who she had never had sex with but had a crush on). If I had been born male, then she would have named me after a classmate she thought was cute.
Wonder which states will see a rise in weaponizing rape and misandry following this discussion.
If anything, castrating a sex offender makes it _easier _ for him to commit offences.
Far less DNA evidence plus the relative ease of cis men getting testosterone and erectile dysfunction pills.
I might be okay with castration for violent rape. The problem is when it's considered a sex crime for an 18 year old to have sex with a 17 year old. And a lot of other things are branded as sex crimes that shouldn't be. And Republicans want to make it a sex crime to be gay or transgender
Wow cool so I guess we’re gonna get to see what Christian-flavored sharia religious laws look like in the states. Are we gonna get an all-America version of the morality police too?
Rape is about power, not sex. Why is this being discussed?
Except if it's done against Republicans, then it's funny
That's sick and disgusting.
And what about female offenders?
Que the introduction of Clit Commander's evil nemesis, Clit Cutter.
Coming to all 50 states next year.
"pointless" haha.
All rights stem from bodily autonomy.
And yeah, with black men being the objects of white psychosexual fears this has a lot of opportunity to become yet another means of disproportionate suffering of black men at the hands of the justice system and for eugenics.
For every 100 sexual assaults reported to the police against girls and women, only 18 lead to a prosecution.
So imagine what that number looks like for all sexual assaults against women and girls.
No State government gives a tiny shit about women getting raped. It's just a cudgel to punish poor men and maintain the illusion that law enforcement protects women in America.
Yeah, I've seen how little cops care first hand. In fact, they managed to focus more on the race of the perpetrator, while ignoring the footprints that clearly indicated that they were wrong about how he got in.
If the justice system actually cared about victims of sexual violence they'd focus on tried and true known methods of reducing recidivism and they'd actually test rape kits
