David Strum asks the important question

He castrated willing men. Now he is facing prison. Why?

London — A Norwegian man who had his own genitals, nipple and leg amputated appeared in a U.K. court this week accused of livestreaming the castration of other men on his “eunuch maker” website. Marius Gustavson, 45, along with eight others, is alleged to have performed extreme “body modifications” — including the removal of men’s penises and testicles — and streamed the clips for paying subscribers, the Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London heard.

Gustavson, who’s originally from Norway but lived in North London, is said to have been the ringleader of a wide-ranging conspiracy involving as many as 29 criminal offenses. He and eight other men were said to be part of a subculture of genital “nullification,” in which men willingly have their genitals removed to become “Nullos.”

Is “gender-affirming care” restricted to adolescents? Can’t adults enjoy the benefits too?
