A convicted child molester who pushed for the Texas law that allowed him to be voluntarily castrated more than a decade ago may go back to prison for allegedly possessing sexually explicit material.

OK, correct me if I'm wrong here, but wouldn't a castrated man having pornographic material be about the equivalent to an armless man possessing gloves?

No. Technically, castrated men can still be sexually capable. I don’t know what the legislature was thinking when they agreed to this.
