      As a trans person I believe every adult should enjoy the right to elective genital surgeries. And as an intersex person I believe there’s never an excuse to perform cosmetic genital surgeries on infants.

        I definitely agree in those cases. I’m a bit more confused when it comes to circumcision though because I’m AMAB and was circumcised as an infant, and to be honest I’m glad I never had to worry about foreskin and cleaning under it…

          You only have to worry about dick cheese if you’re being absolutely disgusting. It takes five seconds to clean an intact dick in the shower, and you only have to do it once a month and before sex. Once a week if you really care about it. And the benefit of having a foreskin is it’s nature’s lube, and it preserves your sensitivity so you don’t get desentisised by your pants.

          But all the logistical and sexual issues aside, the basic truth is simple: there is NEVER a good reason to perform cosmetic surgery on an infant. If you want a circumcised dick, then get the surgery at an age where you can consent to it. You don’t get to make that choice for someone else, not even your own kids.

          It be hygiene part is a myth. You simply pull back the foreskin and the penis will lock identical to how your circumcised penis looks. You don’t have to “clean under it”. The foreskin is designed to slide and retract.

    Love when the Dems can’t help but show everyone how far right they are. Biden is an insane right wing nutjob. He’s everything the dems accuse the GOP of being.

    Westerners turning into a bunch of Carolyn Donham Bryants will unfortunately never ever go away.

    Edit: I am being unfair, the younger generations are better at not falling for the propaganda as much.

      Far as I can tell they just get reports on what their soldiers are doing and then preemptively blame hamas for it

      It’s definitely not 1:1, but the IDF forcefully removes all clothing and detains Palestinians for absolutely no reason all the time. If they can successfully lie to themselves that these men (mostly men but they do it to women and teens (kids) too) are complicit in horrific sexual violence then they can rationalize the brutality that they inflict as “more moral.” It is incredibly wild to see a nation openly committing these crimes day after day. Small scale Abu Ghraib events every day. Little comment (or zero) from Western media sources. If they ever talk about it at all they just call them all suspected terrorists… no commentary on why the fuck you would arrest teenagers or WHY ARE THEY STRIPPED NAKED. I mean fuck man. The IDF isn’t trying to beat the Nazi charges. They’re just embracing it

      I would expect that it’s more like US cops where it isn’t an acute event but something they do with impunity from time to time at a smaller scale.
