If this is a round about way to banning genital mutilation except for doctors reasons then I guess they can have this one.
I admire you for having this much blind optimism after the last ten months or so.
No, they can't, because they're only gonna apply it to trans people even when they do have doctors okaying it
I know a lot of folks are against circumcision, but my old boss was 78 and had to be circumcized cuz the sheath lost its elasticity and he couldn't pee and yea that's an old person issue but man. I'm just glad they did it when I was too young to remember. He was not a happy camper
Sure, but the same can be said about pretty much anything. If I were to get bone cancer in my left arm, I'd rather have had it amputated when I was a baby than today. Recovery always sucks.
My only regret is that I have boneitis
As far as I know, people are against forced circumcision. It boils down to mutilating someone, usually a kid, preemptively for… reasons. I don't think anyone care about medically mandated procedure.
