Castrator.

The life of a castrato is an interesting one. The boys were castrated before their beautiful voices changed. This was done in Italy, so that they could sing in churches and sing opera. The boys were castrated before they were ten years old.
This morning it was on the news that the government was thinking of chemically castrating sex offenders.
It got me thinking. I think if a baby has been raped and there is 100% proof then the rapist should be castrated. I also think if a boy has been raped the rapist should be castrated. I think if a girl has been raped then the rapist should be castrated. I think if a man has been raped then the rapist should be castrated. And if a woman has been raped then the rapist should be castrated. For all of those just mentioned but Only if there is 100% proof.
The rapist may say he does not want to be chemically castrated, but I think the rapist should not be chemically castrated but Castrated! They were not thoughtful when they did the rape.
The rapist may say, “He has rights.” The baby that has been raped has rights too. The boy who has been raped has rights too, the girl that has been raped has rights too, the man that has been raped has rights too, and the woman who has been raped has rights too.
Fifteen years ago, on the road next to ours, there were lots of police cars, when they left, there was a police cordon. I went and asked the next-door neighbour, “What happened?” The man told me, the one-year-old baby called John was raped and the rapist put his hand over his nose and mouth so he would not make a noise.” We were all stunned in our neighbourhood, and talked about nothing else for weeks.
When a baby has been raped, or a girl, boy, man or woman, the damaged has been done for Life! The person that has been raped, can’t be unraped!
So, if a person can’t be unraped, then the person that has done the rape and there is 100% proof, then that person should be castrated! Period!
This will be a U certificate, as when a baby has been raped and involved in sex, then the baby is under 18 years old. When a boy has been raped and is 6 years old, he too has been introduced to sex, so he too is under 18 years old. When a girl has been raped and she is under 10 years old, she too has experienced sex, she too is under 18, so putting it for 18 would be wrong and hypocritical!
The Government should hurry this one through and start with the chemical castration, and they should thank their lucky stars that is Only chemical and not the real thing! For the person that has been raped were not raped chemically. They experienced violence, fear, hurt, flashbacks, yeeeeears of counselling, broken relationships, panic attacks, mistrust. Ended up as a prostitute or a rent boy! On drugs!! Drinks to numb the pain of been violated without their consent!!!

Hi Maxine. I've had to change
Hi Maxine. I've had to change the rating for this piece. I understand your arguments, but for us as a website, it's about complying with the law on ratings

U Certificate
That paragraph about the U certificate really made me pause. I think I get what you’re saying—that if a child is forced into something so brutal, something that strips them of safety and innocence, then calling it “adult content” feels like a strange kind of denial. Like a way to pretend kids aren’t affected just because we don’t want them to be.
But I also kept thinking about how horror films sometimes cast kids—but those movies aren’t rated G (the equivalent age rating to Certificate U, here in Canada) just because children are in them. They’re rated R (the equivalent age rating to Certificate 18, here in Canada) because the subject matter is disturbing and not meant for everyone.
And maybe that’s the truest thing about this kind of violence—it was never meant for anyone.
And those the R/C18 rated content is meant for should be made to sit with that brutality—to reckon with it fully, so it doesn’t keep spilling into the minds of those, especially children, who were never meant to hold it, let alone make sense of it.
Just a thought...
Thanks for writing something so bold and unflinching. There’s power in calling it what it is.
