The Horrors of Castration

The Claremont Institute has a piece up today or yesterday that gives graphic details of what this means to be a castrati. If you bitch about it publicly you get hell then from the transgender community also puts a really really troubling process. It's very funny because they outlawed it in Europe in the 1850s or 60s and I don't think we've ever had opera singers like that again. The exquisiteness of a young boy's voice is there's such beauty in it but to try and turn that into a permanence by maiming somebody is kind of strange.
