"Chemical castration"

 
"chemical castration" is a process of deploying antiandrogens
 
"a pharmacopornopolitical mechanism aiming less to reduce sexual aggression than to modify the gender of the supposed aggressor" (Preciado 229)
 
"the means of punishing and controlling male sexuality is to transform it symbolically and somatically into femininity"
