Re: Castration go wrong thread - input

Dear members of EA:
Below is a letter I have drafted to send to Judge Frankle regarding Mr. Wang's case in the Oak Park, Michigan castration incident. Is this over the top? Futhermore are any of you against a female speaking out for the eunuch community? I want to believe that as an advocate and supporter (and member;) ) of this community that I might have a voice, if not a tiny one. (Oh, and if you see a typo - PM me lol)
Honorable Judge Frankel:
I have been closely following the case of the Oak Park incident involving Mr. Shuo-Shan Wang and have been moved to write this letter in hopes to make you aware of just how important this case is to many people not only in the Detroit area, but around the world. What I am about to express may be difficult for you and many others to understand, but I ask for your patience and an open mind.
There is an international community of men which seeks something that could make the majority of men in the world feel a bit uncomfortable. It is certainly a taboo topic, but hopefully one that will gain more understanding as time goes by. Many of the men in this community live normal, healthy lives. From corporate professional to college instructor, from the United States to the United Kingdom, from Christian to non-denominational, these men have set aside the petty differences you and I often incur to share a common interest - to be at peace in their bodies and seek higher meanings beyond the natural human impulses that is the sex drive. All in all, your honor, these men seek to be eunuchs. Most people scoff at the word and would consider any man desiring to be void of his sex drive as abnormal, psychological imbalanced, etc. That, your honor, is not always, if not rarely, the case.
I, a professional working-class Detroit female, have come to embrace the eunuch community, seeking the friendships and companionships of kind, open-minded people without feeling threatened by men or more importantly without having to worry about race, culture, or religion. In this community you will find those seeking a peaceful life, but ironically it is because this lifestyle is very difficult to obtain that the community often will experience a sense of tension in its search for resolve. The men in this community seek to be eunuchs for many reasons: religious, cultural, health, the eunuch "calm", libido control, and perhaps even trans-gender issues. Either way, I have been a part of this community via the internet for several months now and have come to know some of these men and some eunuchs personally. This lifestyle is not some freakish American talk-show topic where people jeer and heckle in ignorance and intolerance. It is something quite profound - not for everyone of course - but should regarded as a healthy and morally-justified life-choice.
I write this in hopes to shed light on the case you are supervising. Mr. Shuo-Shan Wang may be guilty of practicing without a license. He may have possessed a controlled substance, but what he was doing, your honor, was helping one of the many men who are trying to avoid the ridicule and injustices that our American medical community proliferates in this area. Castration is a harsh term. It is even difficult for me to say, and I personally prefer the term "body modification." Men who seek this form of modification are confronted with a medical community who refuses to even acknowledge its importance to society as a whole.
Mr. Wang was attempting to provide a service that doctors confront with social prejudices. In this it is much like the abortion issue. When it was illegal, women suffered horribly in the hands of practitioners who were willing to perform the procedures. Many women died, women who knew and understood the risks but for whatever reason saw it fit to not bring an unwanted child into a harsh and uncompassionate world. The men of the eunuch community faces this now. Though castration is not illegal, it is socially unacceptable. It is because of this that the medical community refuses to give proper time and effort to research this phenomenon that they might better serve society. Mr. Wang may be guilty by law, but so is the medical community in its unconstitutional biases.
I could go on for dozens of pages citing examples to support the reasoning of the eunuch community, but the purpose of this letter is to simply say this is not a side-show act or something to be paraded across television as some sexually perverse obsession. It's quite the opposite, actually. Most of these men are weary in their search for reprieve from the sexual urges. Many seek heterosexual partners with whom they can share love and the blessed unity of a relationship that is based on just that, unity, love and personal growth. As a female who embraces philosophies of human compassion, tolerance, education and wisdom, I have come to embrace this community as one I enjoy being a part of. I fully understand that this is not a lifestyle to be adopted by men in general - that is certainly not the case. But for a select few, it can be a life-changing experience, one that can truly enjoy relationships based on love, trust, and respect and one that can enjoy the many health benefits that come with being a eunuch.
This trial may be very unique to you. Perhaps you are concerned with why the Oak Park gentleman wanted this castration. Hopefully I have enlightened you if only a little bit on the topic. In that I ask for your mercy in sentencing Mr. Wang. If the desire to be castrated were easy to obtain, men would not solicit the services of Mr. Wang, hence decreasing the chances of potentially tragic cases that this one could have been. As I understand it, the gentleman involved is recovering nicely. That is good. He was fortunate. But perhaps if you see the gravity of his circumstances you will better understand the importance of your decision. You are not trying a criminal here. You are trying the one of perhaps three fairly-safe options in the world that men can turn to in order to obtain their eunuchood. Research for yourself, your honor. The alternatives are far more dangerous, if not fatal.
Please consider my plea of mercy on Mr. Wang's behalf. I am simply a Detroit citizen, born of American parents with the goal to spread understanding and peace across the cultures and the many sub-cultures of our country and around the world.
My Deepest and Most Profound Respect,
