    The worst part of being a castrato is not being allowed to marry as the Roman Catholic church forbade marriages where the couple is not able to reproduce. Carlo Broschi Farinelli could have married and adopted orphan children, as he was a heterosexual male who was protective of children.

    Those were pretty brutal times for a lot of people. You could be a sailor and put up with truly gross food and seasickness, and get scurvy. Or you could be a soldier and lose a limb with the limb being amputated without anesthetics. Considering the options being a castrato might not be any worse than being a sailor or a soldier with a missing limb.

      None of these were probably as bad as being circumcised as a baby without local anaesthetic or without bothering to wait for the local anaesthetic to kick in, a torture which happens to babies every single day in the USA. There are numerous physiological and anatomical reasons why it's probably among the worst pains humans can experience, much more painful than doing it to an adult without anaesthetic, and even that causes screaming pain. The extreme pain and distress and drop in oxygen (many turn blue and pass out in pain during it) affects their brain development so much that their average mental health is worse than the average of uncircumcised boys even years later.
      And even worse than this, is the pain of all the babies denied anaesthetic up until *1987* worldwide for ANY surgery - eyeballs, liver, heart, facial reconstruction, etc. didn't matter - because medical authorities didn't bother to make sure that they had proof that babies experience no pain, so for many years they paralysed them with a drug instead of giving them any pain relief either during or after surgery. They only got forced to stop doing this when a mother found out her baby had heart surgery without anaesthetic, which was supposed to be kept secret from the parents, exposed it, and then they did research that confirmed babies experience much MORE pain than older children or adults, they're extremely pain-sensitive and in fact were dying more from complications during surgery without anaesthetic despite the potential of anaesthetic to be deadly, because the extreme torture while paralysed was naturally affecting oxygenation, heart rate and blood pressure.
      They've NEVER apologised to all the adults walking around now having been tortured as babies in this way, just as they haven't bothered to warn covid and other respiratory patients cruelly turned away from hospitals in many countries that they are actually seriously ill and SHOULD be in hospital, they just turn them away saying they "don't meet the criteria" so that now all of us who went though covid untreated neglected at home and are damaged by it long-term, had to FIGHT to be recognised as having been severely ill. If they just TOLD people "tell your Dr you will need the same follow-up scans and medical care and rest time as someone who was admitted to hospital would be, and that you might get PTSD and you're not just making a fuss about a mild illness, because you should be in hospital but we've changed the admission policy from 95% ox saturation to just 91% oxygen saturation, and this is going to mean you'll likely get long-term damage including possible PTSD from going untreated alone at home while delirius, excruciating sepsis-pain and shivering, gasping for air etc." In the countries that are STILL "oxygen rationing" regardless of the number of beds available, like my own cruel country of England still is to a lesser extent (it's 94% ox sat now, still too low), they STILL aren't telling the public in big announcements "most people with covid who need to be in hospital don't get admitted even when there are beds of them because of the oxygen rationing policy, so stop calling them mild infections".

      Nah, just track down Tenore Contraltinos (Natural male contraltos) with strong falsetto for soprano notes and you basically have the same thing. I myself am one of those Tenors. I basically sound like a 13 year old who has just started to go through puberty. I'm 29 years old, btw.

    The elite believe that their gods, the fallen angels, were androgenous. As a gift to their gods, noble and royal families would have at least one of their sons castrated and forced to live as a woman. The practice has continued to this very day. All of the most popular 'female' vocalists of today, in addition to top fashion models and leading actresses in movies are actually castrated transgendered men. Check out this recording of an admitted castrato singing, Ave Maria. czcams.com/video/KLjvfqnD0ws/video.html
