it was forced "chemical castration" or something right? I don't recall any medical procedures being performed on him, but yeah it's still fucking horrid.

Classic british experience really.

How is chemical castration not a medical procedure?

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

They probably meant surgical procedure.

generally in my mind, a "medical procedure" would be something like a surgery. Chemical castration, unless injected would essentially just be a prescribed drug, or in the case of an injection, an injection. That's relatively minor compared to a literal surgical castration in my mind.
