‘We Are Men And Women’: Texas Supreme Court Upholds State Protections Against Child Transing

A Louisiana man who admitted to raping a girl when she was a young teenager has opted to undergo surgical castration as part of his sentence.
The case began in July 2022, when a young woman went to the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office to make a disturbing report about Glenn Sullivan Sr. of Springfield, Louisiana, about 40 miles east of Baton Rouge. According to the young woman, Sullivan "had raped her multiple times when she was just 14-years-old," said a Facebook post from the office of District Attorney Scott M. Perrilloux.
The girl had become pregnant as a result of the attacks. A DNA test of her child later confirmed that Sullivan is the father.
An investigation into the case also revealed that Sullivan, who is now 54 years old, first groomed the girl into the assaults. He then threatened her and her family with violence to keep them quiet about them, the DA's office said.
Last week, Sullivan pled guilty to four counts of second-degree rape.
Louisiana law takes the rape of a minor very seriously and imposes harsh penalties on those convicted of it. In some cases, convicted rapists in Louisiana can even be ordered to undergo chemical or surgical castration as part of their sentence.
Judge William Dykes must have believed that Sullivan's case warranted castration, as he issued the order for it. However, the method of castration was left up to Sullivan. As part of his plea agreement, Sullivan chose surgery.
"I want to say I've had three people ordered to be chemically castrated, but, to my knowledge, this is the first physical castration to be ordered," said assistant District Attorney Brad Cascio.
Exactly when Sullivan will undergo the procedure is unclear. The state Department of Corrections usually oversees the chemical and surgical castration of prisoners. A DOC spokesperson declined to comment except to say that surgical castrations are "very rare."
Cascio claimed that the surgery to remove Sullivan's testicles could occur as late as the "week prior to his release." As he has also been sentenced to 50 years behind bars, Sullivan's scrotum could remain intact for another half-century.
Whether the surgery happens now or later, Cascio, Perrilloux, and others in the district attorney's office are grateful that a dangerous predator like Sullivan will never be able to harm another child. Perrilloux also expressed admiration for the courageous young woman who demanded justice for the sexual abuse against her.
"So many of these types of cases go unreported because of fear," he said. "The strength it must have taken for this young woman to tell the truth in the face of threats and adversity is truly incredible."

Surgeon Castrating ‘Gender-Diverse’ Eunuchs Manifests The Evil Of Transgenderism
The idea of ‘eunuch’ as a gender identity that needs to be affirmed with surgical castration is obviously insane.Horowitz: Courts enshrine castration as a de facto human right
We’ve learned a lot of uncanny principles about human rights over the past few years. We’ve learned that any private institution, including those involved in health care delivery, can force you to take action against your own body and breathing holes in order to obtain medical care. We’ve learned that the Americans with Disabilities Act doesn’t matter when denying rape victims the right to enter a doctor’s office without a mask. We’ve learned that one could deny employment, public accommodation, and even lifesaving care to anyone who doesn’t opt for Pfizer’s magic juice. Human rights all but disappeared. Now the courts have suddenly rediscovered them when it comes to those who desire “medical care” for gender dysphoria, aka castration.
On August 16, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled (Williams v. Kincaid) that the Americans with Disabilities Act covers gender dysphoria in the context of a male prisoner who thinks he’s a female, thereby legitimizing a right to be housed with female prisoners. While the decision dealt with a case of a prisoner, reading gender dysphoria into the ADA ensures that all employment, public accommodation, and even other areas of private life will be subject to these standards.
Consider the world we now live in: Schools can demand that children take actions against their bodies in order to go to school, such as wearing a mask or getting a vaccine – the ADA be darned. Yet the same institutions must affirmatively accommodate the wishes of anyone desiring to switch-hit.
What’s also laughably ironic is that the same people who believe that transgenderism is somehow as natural as being born with red hair or blue eyes are now having it both ways by treating it as a disability when it suits them. “Being transgender is not a disability,” the court wrotein an incoherent and self-contradictory 33-page opinion, but “many transgender people experience gender dysphoria,” or distress over the discrepancy between their preferred identity and their actual sex. “A transgender person’s medical needs are just as deserving of treatment and protection as anyone else’s.”
Furthermore, the court ruled that not including gender dysphoria in the ADA “would discriminate against transgender people as a class, implicating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.” Yup, the 1866 amendment certainly was designed for situations like this!
You can now demand that hospitals cut your testicles off, but they can’t be forced to give you lifesaving organ transplants or ivermectin. We now live in a time when somehow you don’t have a right to remain free from government-coerced medical intervention, but you do have a right to demand medical intervention that is tantamount to mutilation. Fundamental rights could not possibly have been contorted in a more grotesque fashion.
Remember the all-powerful state during the pandemic? Even the few court decisions that limited federal overreach all seemed to apply the Jacobson decision to green-light state public health edicts. We were told that there is no limit to the police power of a state, which includes blocking other Americans from entering the state, mask mandates, vaccine mandates, and closure of churches and businesses. Yet when it comes to banning castration of minors? Not so much.
In a separate ruling from the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, considered the most conservative in the country, the appellate court upheld a district court’s temporary injunction against Arkansas’ ban on doctors performing castration on children. The legislature passed Act 626 last year over Gov. Asa Hutchinson’s veto, and several other states have followed suit. But last Thursday, the Eighth Circuit ruled, “Because the minor’s sex at birth determines whether or not the minor can receive certain types of medical care under the law, Act 626 discriminates on the basis of sex.”
