Was just talking at dinner with family, and it seems a logical action to ban circumcision, as in most cases, doesn’t have consent, and is a major (genitals are important) body modification. Can we ban it at the state level? Just a thought.

    Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the problem with the anti-circumcision movement.

    There are good arguments to be had for banning circumcision. Refusing to recognize my autonomy, and insisting you know the “secret trauma of strangers” better than they do is not one of them. It makes you sound like an asshole who doesn’t know what they are talking about and will cause people to think the whole movement is the same way.

    For those arguing to ban circumcision: you need to purge assholes like this from your numbers. They are only doing harm and not helping your cause.

      Refusing to recognize my autonomy

      Glad that, as an infant, you exercised your own autonomy, when your parents decided to circumcise you.

      If you did exercise your own autonomy as an adult, then fine. That’s not what we’re talking about.
