Circumcision is not gender-affirming care? "Oh, that's different!"
38 6 ReplyIt is different. It's genital mutilation. Has fuck all to do with gender affirmation
52 4 ReplySo genital mutilation surgery is okay, but gender affirming surgery is not?
9 26 ReplyThey weren't defending circumcision by calling it mutilation.

6 0 ReplyCircumcision (genital mutilation) on infants is widely practiced, thus logically it must be okay. This article asserts Biden says gender affirming surgery should be delayed until 18 years old (not okay on infants)

13 5 ReplyI read that as not being directed at you but more as realisation that the state of things are even worse than suggested in the first comment.
"Why is this specific gender affirming care ok but not the rest?"
"That specific thing is actually mutilation"
"So to THEM (not you) mutilation is ok but not gender affirming care(any at all)!"
