Forced mutilation of anybody for any reason is unethical and fucked up. Let’s do other things like fixing society, proper education, end eugenics/racism/transphobia/etc.
If you want to stop sex offenders, stop trying to teach them a “lesson” after doing it and instead install things into society that prevents it in the first place.

Chemical castration isn’t mutilating the body. It’s typically forcing them to take a medication that stops sexual function.

Chemical or surgical, it doesn’t matter same results.

The difference is that chemical castration is typically a course of drugs that alter the body’s hormone production while it’s being taken to reduce sexual desire/function, when the subject stops taking the drugs the body returns to its natural hormone balance.
Physical mutilation is a one off, permenant, irreversible operation.
The problem is that the term chemical castration is wildly misleading in its attempt to describe the process.

It lowers sexual function, it doesn’t always stop it
