1. >PAEDOPHILES and rapists are to face chemical castration.

   >Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood is looking at plans to make it mandatory.

   >Studies have shown using drugs to dull sex urges can slash offending by up to 60 per cent.

   >A Government source said: “For too long, we have turned a blind eye to the threat sex offenders pose, considering the solutions too difficult or unpalatable.

   >“Shabana isn’t squeamish about doing what it takes to protect the public.

   >“As always, she will grab this problem by the proverbials.”

   >Recommendations by the Independent Sentencing Review to continue a small voluntary pilot in the South West have been rejected as too soft.

   >Instead it will be expanded to 20 prisons in England and Wales ahead of a planned roll-out nationwide.

   >But The Sun understands Ms Mahmood wants to go further and is exploring the feasibility of compulsory chemical castration.

2. Is chemical castration temporary/reversible?

   If not, this is flat out corporal punishment – which is something we don’t do in the UK. It’d be just as bad as them cutting thieves’ hands off in the middle east.

3. Simply done by way of the GnRH agonist jab of which is reversible but not immediately reversible in that it can take a number of years for what was to be regained

4. 1. Many sex crimes aren’t committed because of a need to use one’s genitals. Anything they can do with them, they can do with something else, aside pregnancy, which does not *require* the functionality they’re trying to shut down.

   2. We have, as a culture, *generally* accepted that maiming people isn’t an acceptable form of harm prevention.

5. There’s so many problems with this. False accusations, police mistakes, miscarriages of justice, the fact we don’t do corporal punishment, the idea that if your going to be chemically castrated for rape, you might as well turn it into a murder and not be castrated.

   And do you trust any government in this country to do this well? It will be contracted out to G4 and we know how well that will work.

6. Forcing people to take medical treatment is fundamentally morally wrong. It’s particularly troubling that the motivation for this seems to be coming from a spending review, i.e. we’re doing this mainly because it’s cheaper.

7. Another 100% reliable headline from the Sun.

   Dead cat.

8. And in fifteen years time there will be a public enquiry and huge compensation schemes for the miscarriages of justice that absolutely will happen with this.

9. It won’t work. Least not reliably. It’s extremely dangerous to release them even if they agree to this treatment.

   So firstly screw this country they give GNRH’s to sex offenders but not transgender people or transgender kids who really need them. Fuck you labour. Shabana Mahmood is also a massive transphobe so double fuck you labour. This kind of abusive shit leaves you utterly blind to useful perspectives on this.

   Secondly As someone who’s been on SSRI’s and GNRH’s (I’m trans not a nonce) they don’t always kill your libido. Some of us report impotence or ED but honestly it’s only about 30% of us as a hazarded guess. I was still “fully operational” downstairs even with my testosterone levels literally Zilched out by these medicines. I’m not a unique case.

   Guarantee you will see reoffenders even on this medicine.
