I'm circumcised and don't really care because it's all I've known, but I hear sensations are far better with the skin hood lol. I think it looks nasty, but I would have preferred the choice.What makes it scummy? It literally takes no more effort to clean than someone who has been snipped.
I agree re the trans surgery I just take it one step further and oppose all unnessicary cosmetic surgery on minors
You know that things are bad when liberal Europe is calling you out on the woke stuff. Seriously, it seems like parts of the "left" went down the wrong rabbit hole...Biden is a fucking ghoul. Great Britain, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and many other European nations that have looked at the data and realize that what they are really dealing with is 80% of the trans people simply turn out to be gay, no big deal. The other 20% have serious mental issues and need mental healthcare, not body mutilation. This will be the trend among sane nations. Here in the U.S.A. we have a Left Cult / Democratic Party that wants to mutilate children and push transgenderism on them at every turn.
This is a lazy attempt to remove something from the social discussion by medicalizing it and then hiding behind "expertise" of experts who have shown themselves uniquely vulnerable to political pressure in the past. The State ultimately decides what lies in the realm of medical treatment and what does not.Similarly, even if you agree with everything he does, it doesn't seem like "doctors and parents should make medical decisions for kids" should be a controversial position.

Its a really incorrect view because it takes a state to decide to limit itself. It is not, in fact medical, anymore than torture or tattoos are medical procedures. And even if it were, the government can decide it is not.No, it's just a pretty straightforwardly accurate statement (and it is, in fact, medical). Remember, some of us believe in limited gov't. You might not, but it's a real view.

Curious, as I thought child mutilation- a uniquely barbarous activity- was what was being discussed here.Well, I don't know what to tell you. The history of countries that have limited gov't and basic rights kind of speaks for itself. At any rate, barbarism is dying.

Well, we're not talking about mutilation, but I mean the barbarous mindset. Magical thinking (gods and stuff), servility toward leaders, etc. The embers are still (barely) glowing, but anyone expecting a big fire to reignite is bound to be disappointed.
No one is talking about leaders or magic. This is attempting to cover your irrational positions in a veneer of scientism and rationality, curiously like a primitive might invoke a totem.
Lol, sure. History has ended. Good luck with that.
So do you agree with Biden that kids should be given puberty blockers and have body alternating surgeries ? Even though I never saw a studied that helped the trans community after they get all the operations they wanted .Well, we're not talking about mutilation, but I mean the barbarous mindset.

I'm circumcised
I appreciate the honest answer it makes sense. Don’t be surprised if you get attack from fellow democrats on this.I wouldn't interpret his comment in that way. I think that it's a difficult situation with heavy tradeoffs, and it should be made by a collaboration between medical and mental-health professionals and parents or guardians. I would guess it would remain extremely rare, and it should. I don't think it's good for anyone for the gov't to get involved and treat children's health as a political football.
If you were circumcised, you wouldn't hold that opinion. That scummy hood is absolutely useless.
Biden’s doing great this year “ they’re all our kids “ and now building a railroad to Indian ocean
