    Forced mutilation of anybody for any reason is unethical and fucked up. Let’s do other things like fixing society, proper education, end eugenics/racism/transphobia/etc.

    If you want to stop sex offenders, stop trying to teach them a “lesson” after doing it and instead install things into society that prevents it in the first place.

      Chemical castration isn’t mutilating the body. It’s typically forcing them to take a medication that stops sexual function.

          The difference is that chemical castration is typically a course of drugs that alter the body’s hormone production while it’s being taken to reduce sexual desire/function, when the subject stops taking the drugs the body returns to its natural hormone balance.

          Physical mutilation is a one off, permenant, irreversible operation.

          The problem is that the term chemical castration is wildly misleading in its attempt to describe the process.
