Texas is an empire of child abuse, led by Texas judges?

Do they look like Lavine and/or have a D after their name?

If you were the father in this case, how far would you go to prevent this from happening to your children?

There was a time when boys were castrated out of economic necessity. Now, it’s parental vanity/adherence to ephemeral ideological trends.


https://www.operaforall.co.uk/who-were-the-castrati/
[The idea of castrating a prepubescent boy to preserve his voice today is – rightly – considered horribly cruel and even barbaric. Yet it has a long tradition in music and the last castrato died in 1922.

The practice in music goes back to the mid-16th century – though castration itself has a much longer history – when women were banned from performing on the stage. Higher voices were needed to play female and young roles; boys took the parts instead, but children grow up and boys’ voices break. It was very expensive to train the youngsters only for them to move on. Castration arrested this development, freezing the voice as a child’s.

As boys reach puberty, they produce testosterone which causes the larynx to descend and the thyroid to thicken, creating the Adam’s apple. Together these developments lower a man’s voice. Castration prevents the production of testosterone so the vocal chords don’t develop normally. The castrated boys retained their prepubescent vocal range into adulthood.

This lack of testosterone also meant that the castrati’s bones didn’t harden in the normal way so their limbs grew abnormally long. Their rib cages were also unusually large, giving them a huge amount of breath capacity. This, combined with the small size of their vocal chords and rigorous singing training, gave them unique voices that were extraordinarily flexible, and quite different from the equivalent adult female voice.

The operation was never legal, though, and so was generally undertaken by backstreet surgeons and dentists, while the boys’ families would make up stories as to why their sons had been castrated – often inventing implausible accidents such as being gored by wild boar. The procedure was usually undertaken between the ages of eight and nine. It was incredibly dangerous and painful – this was before the discovery of anaesthetic. However, the rewards for a successful castrato were significant and for poor families meant a way out of poverty.]

This is insane. How did we get to the point where even Texas is going along with this barbarism?

We’re living in the terminal phase of our civilization.

Parental rights? The state has decreed that your parental rights are to pay the bills and be financially responsible for your children.

The state has assumed all other rights that you once thought were yours.

This is how killdozers get built and used. Rational men driven to do irrational things.

Unreal.

I thought that Texas was Conservative. That does not sound Conservative to me. Sounds like California or New York State.
Any mother that could her helpless child like that derssrves a bullet between the eyes.

This is the point where a responsible parent would take their child and go into hiding and deal with the circumstances.
