"The story about labiaplasty you haven’t heard" - Horrible stuff, yet why is circumcision considered different? Disposability of men, that's why.

She was literally circumcised. How can they not see the double standard?

This. But I GUARANTEE any attempt to raise that point would be deleted for "derailing".

I checked her twitter account (using twitter quotes and screenshots from other people, because her account has since been deleted), the woman from the post. Turns out, unfortunately, that she thinks labiaplasty is worse than circumcision and she doesn't give a rat's ass about male circumcision whatsoever.
Typical really.

I saw that, came straight here looking for a discussion on it. It's literally circumcision. My beautiful son was perfect just as he was born, just like every girl and boy, but yet I still had other moms questioning my decision to leave him whole. Why is it anyone's business what my baby's genitals look like?!

She, as an adult, made a decision she regretted.
That's so much worse than forcing children to undergo circumcision

Right?
"My body, my choice!"
"Unless I make the wrong choice, then it's still everyone else's fault!"

Note that in the UK, it’s illegal to do any sort of genital surgery on females for purely cosmetic reasons. This applies even to consenting adults. And even if you’ve had a simple genital piercing, and a doctor or medical worker sees this, they are compelled by law to report it as female genital mutilation, and it will be added to the FGM statistics.

That's some puritanical bullshit. Baby girls and young girls should be protected from somebody doing that to them. But if a grown ass woman decided to get such a body modification, she should be free to do so. And it should not be considered FGM since she willfully consented to the modification.

I got into an argument with her a while back and kept asking for sources and references, even went as far as to ask for the published finding to which she never did.

First off, I'm sorry about what happened to you. Circumcision is wrong and I think it's commendable that you're doing work to get it banned.
I had a boyfriend who had a botched circumcision and he had very little sensation in his penis, and it made him frustrated and self conscious.
And I'm sorry you had to deal with the user who wished cancer and further mutilation upon you. She is...unwell.

Thank you. Its sad she acted in such a matter as I agree basically with her fight. However when asking for sources and all you should be able to provide them without making someone buy anything. She told me to DM her and when I did decided that she changed her mind about sending me her thesis or publication. It may have boiled down to a syntax problem more than anything as I believe that with the clitoral stem being technically outside it is still covered by the hood which does not retract past the glans clitoris, thus making it in my opinion internal. This is an issue I have with people when I debate with, when they become belligerent or start insulting any professionalism or intelligence they claim to have has gone out the window.

I do believe I've seen this person, or someone just like her, before. Never had discussions anywhere near as serious as you've claimed to have with her, but she is mentally unstable and it's rather sad.
If this is the same person, she has a insatiable need to critique MGM as being less than FGM "just because".

Another example of female hypocrisy. And then they have the audacity to expect sympathy from men, when many/most American women shame uncircumcised men (and many/most European women shame circumcised men).

She was a fucking adult who chose it for herself

This is what circumcision looks like for male infants but they don't have the understanding or ability to walk and write that women who choose to get circumcised or men who choose to get circumcised after 18 years old have.
All genital cutting for all genders and HUMANS must end and if you want to have it cut for whatever reason other than critical medical need then you need to be 18+ and CONSENT.
I can't believe we are slicing babies in America it is the ONLY western country that does this, our medical community is absolutely disgusting for profiteering MILLIONS from this elective surgery and persuading parents to sign off their boys rights.
Biggest side effect? Me. A bad ass 26 year old restoring his foreskin with the help of r/foreskin_restoration (don't try this without doing months of research and understanding you will alter your body by cell division/mitosis and regain skin to cover the head of your penis). I am also very critical of the american medical community and pediatric community for advising parents to cut of their boys genitals for profit.
Why can't the medical community in america teach to clean genitals and respect all shapes and sizes, it is so unethical and not a community I want my boys and girls raised in.
Due to this I am left with two options:
- Raise my children in america with all the stigma and most people telling my intact natural children they should go to the medical genital butcher. They won't and they will be activists against their fellow brothers and sisters being harmed.
- Expatriate to basically every other country except Iraq and South Korea (both with U.S. presence) or any nation with genital mutilation which is only: middle east, central and north Africa. So my options are: Canada, Australia, Europe, New Zealand, Russia, China, India, Southeast Asia, pacific islands, Central or South America.
I REALLY like chic-fil-a and NOT having to talk to my neighbors so I'm going to stick with option 1. (lol haven't actually decided but option 2 is tempting especially the first few countries).
First and foremost NO parent should be able to cut their kid just like they can't take a knife to their babies face or tattoo their babies ass. Europe, Australia and Canada and South America and all those other countries under option 2 think Americans ARE CRAZY for cutting their infants instead of just cleaning them like they already wipe their asses, just wipe their intact penises too for fucks sake.

Did you know you can be against both? Jesus that's terrible but the comments pretending like that's worse than anything men can experience, and regularly do, is gross
