      In the early days of [opera], womyn were not allowed to sing in public, not even in a [chorus]. How to fill in the female roles in opera? Pick a choir-boy with a great voice that has not yet deepened, by [consent] of their parents, perform a little operation on them, removing the [testicles].
      Results? Without the [hormones] needed for adulthood, their voices remained [sopranos] and [altos] while their [chests] and [lungs] matured regularly, their voices combined [male] [power] with [female] [beauty]. Now they were able to successfully pull off female roles onstage.
      Today, this practice is illegal.

        Castrato is a man or boy who has had his nut-sack chopped off so that he does not produce any man-juice and therefore is basically a girl with a penis. They sing like little girls and look like a giant torso with 2 inch thick but 7 foot long legs and 1 inch thick and 3 foot long arms. even though they were seen as freaks because they were simply sick freaks they were nonetheless loved for their singing abillity but still hated for absolutely everything else.
