Wait a second now.

I was circumcised. I had no choice in the matter. If I had, I wouldn't be.

Are you indicating that idealistic parents should have even more say over irreversible impacts over their children that their children are going to have to live with?

I mean, isn't part of the role of government to prevent people from mutilating other people without good cause?


Parents know what is best for their kids. Big government in Washington cant know what is going on in every childs life. If you value freedom this is a bad bill

Spoken directly from the mouth of a person who hasn't been mutilated by their parents, and hasn't had their parents work against their own best interests.

Your level of privilege is catching up to you, Thor.

pro tip: Thor is a staunch liberal and just mocking/trying to discredit typical libertarian/right-wing talking points.

I mean, if you've been mutilated as a child, and you've dealt with infections and strange crusty issues for the first 5-10 years of your life, all due to pieces of you being cut off, then I don't understand why anyone would make light of it.

I suspect Thor is a person who has never experienced anything, and claims to be knowledgeable about everything, and therefore feels free to weigh in.

Just like every other nerd who lives in their mother's basement.

do we have any statistics on how prevalent such surgeries on minors were in the uk, what age they were performed at, and what percentage of them regret those surgeries simply because they 'changed their mind' regarding their gender later?

i mean, i'm sure at the core of this legislative initiative are well meaning intentions, but i severely doubt there was a massive surge of 12 year olds undergoing this life-changing and incredibly painful procedure for fashion reasons, regretting it down the road since it was just a fad, like some right wing fundamentalists keep suggesting.

OMG

What if you have purple haired parents who decide their little boy should be less of a man and more like a girl because that's politically correct in 2020

You are probably reading the latest Snowflake and Safespace as we speak. And you're enjoying it a lot.
