its a practical procedure that is obviously more confortable to undergo as an infant than as an adult. it is a far cry from disabling genitalia in an insane attempt at forcing a gender swap.
The “practicality” of this procedure has ranged in claims of preventing bed wetting, helping prostate cancer, and more ridiculous things. None of which are true. We live in a country where we can shower every day you do not need to force the “practicality” of ablating swaths of genital tissue onto people without their consent. We don’t live in a desert hellhole in the year 4000BC we have access to plenty of clean water to keep our bodies healthy.
A procedure started by a puritan who advised it as a way to prevent masturbation. You are operating on outdated and debunked propaganda of people who are adamant about wanting to cut pieces of infant penis off.
so what? millions of "victims" of this procedure will tell you they prefer it that way. there's no associated trauma or suicide rate, because nothing is lost. its like having an innie vs an outie. its cleaner and looks better, and its a huge pain to do when you're older. just makes sense.
i've heard people get insanely nasty during this debate. its not child abuse, regardless of the reasons given for doing it.
Why don’t adult people line up for it if it’s so great. Your ideals of cleanliness and aesthetics can only be forced on the unconsenting for it to be this prevalent.
I prefer ideals that attract people of their own merit, not because generations were strapped down and had it forced upon them.
come on. that cannot possibly be a genuine argument. convenience or aethetics isn't worth putting your genitals under the knife as an adult.. but when you're born, you barely even notice or remember. not a big deal. i can't think of a single downside. its not disabling, its not cruel or traumatic. trans surgery is ultimately all 3 of those things.
not everything in this life is a conscious autonomous choice. especially in childhood... parents are in charge of their childrens health and early lives. you may not agree with it, but that doesn't equate it with s.r.a
