Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood said so-called chemical castration would be used in 20 prisons in two regions and that she was considering making it mandatory.
Or you could just do everyone a favor and shoot them
Do you trust the British justice system to only convict guilty people 100% of the time?
That’s the issue, yes. Although wrongful convictions still exist with imprisonment as a punishment, and sex crimes tend to have a lower rate of wrongful conviction due to the frequency of DNA evidence.
You can let people out of prison, as bad as imprisoning a person wrongfully is. You can’t un-murder them.
The UK is going to do that either way—they don’t need a pretext to mistreat trans people, so at least they’re reducing recidivism a bit. I just wish they used the method that results in a 100% reduction in recivism forremoveds.

We are discussing sexual assault here. Calling it “poor impulse control” is a pretty bad way to describe it.
I had to pay good money for my analog castration, and they are just handing that out for free to criminals over there??? Smh my head 😤
red tories being worse than the blue tories
The UK is looking worse than the US
Jesus Christ sink this fucking island into the sea
What chemical castration is? I don’t want to Google it and find something gross
Using hormones to disable sexual function in males
Absolutely not. You can still get a boner on the drugs used, a lot of trans women still have penetrative intercourse as tops and/or enjoy sex while being on a similar stack (Although with added female sex hormones)
The theory of chemical castration is that removing testosterone makes you less likely to commit sexual assault, this is backed by an observed lower recidivism rate among people willing to undergo chemical castration and nothing else.
It’s giving a man “menopause”. Its shitty.
Men opause
Like in preventing erections or something else? It’s permanent?
No to both. Although there can be permanent side effects (But that’s true for any hormone medication taken over longer periods)
Why? Just get the scissors out. But then what would they do with all the testicles? Maybe do a DNA study to see if there’s a thing to cure? Maybe a museum? Just a couple of ideas. I guess chemical is fine. Removes the problem.
What do we do the day they convict an innocent person? You can’t reverse an orchiectomy
Just don’t do crimes, ok? /s
Museum. Its ridiculous. The whole thing is ridiculous.
caring about the innocent is ridiculous
Holy shit
The castration part. I think many of us have atoned to the fact that someday a poop will punch us and rape us. But not castration. That’s one level lower than we’re at right now. Maybe just jail the guy or come up with a medical fix other than you know. Like why go there.
Let’s cook?
You’re seriously good with the possibility that you might get snipped if someone accuses you of something you didn’t do after a night out drinking?
I don’t think you’ve truly thought through the ramifications or possibility that this might one day directly and personally impact you. You’re doing the “it’s common sense innit just deal with em bruv” shit and actively preventing yourself from thinking about it beyond that.
I know you’re not ok with that outcome. Think about it some more. You can’t hold this position without that outcome being a possibility.
Definitely not. I was being sarcastic. It would only happen in a fascis…oh…that’s not good.
Ahh alright. Very much didn’t catch the sarcasm
This appears to be a british program that cites the Danish program in herstedvester, which uses Androcur and Procren (Zoladex), but other Grnh modulators are also in talk probably.
Which essentially means the only way to get HRT expedited in terfland is to be a pedophile, and it’s probably gonna be the only way to get puberty blockers period.
Oh sure CRIMINALS can get HRT but someone who actually wants it can’t get it
Are they starting with Prince Andrew?
hey this isn’t the fake news comm
oh…
Yeah terf island is definitely gonna be fair judge of this /s
It’s pretty clear what is the true aim, creating oppression feedback loop against trans people.
alleviate the pressures on the prison system, which is running out of space.
Ya know, one way to help alleviate the issue with having too many prisoners, is to reevaluate whether so many crimes should send people there.
The prison population in England and Wales has doubled over the past 30 years or so to nearly 90,000. That’s despite a fall in crime rates and is driven in part by the fact that longer sentences are being handed out amid pressure to be tough on crime.
This policy isn’t going to significantly reduce overcrowding.
I did not suggest it will. I posted a depressing figure that demonstrates the problem is policing and sentencing. There would currently be half the number of people in prison if we simply had the same sentencing and policing culture that existed 30 years ago. This shows how much the cultural attitude has slipped rightwards in the UK over the last 30 years.
here ye here ye, we bring to account, this assembly, wherein we demand of ourselves stricter corrections on outlawed behaviors, and must submit to these pressures which we put upon ourselves
*raucous stomping and chattering among the wigged crackers*
No, the most they can do is slavery or corporal punishment. Or both.
Remember when being gay was a sex offense and they chemically castrated Turing? What they can do to the worst offenders, they can do to everyone else. They’re currently proving this in the US by working to say that gay people are all pedophiles.
