Progressive Politics
Welcome to Progressive Politics! A place for news updates and political discussion from a left perspective. Conservatives and centrists are welcome just try and keep it civil :)
(Sidebar still a work in progress post recommendations if you have them such as reading lists)
That was my first thought.
Maybe we should start giving them tips about the removal of, well.... tips. At a massive scale, preferably.
Fun fact, 97% of gender affirming surgeries done on minors were not transgender or gender diverse (TGD) children. Only 3% of gender affirming surgeries done on minors were done on TGD children. (Study)
Of course they'll be ignoring the 97%
Mutilations huh
Everyone please call the FBI to report every single circumcision you're aware of.
No, that's the wrong kind of genital mutilation. Our kind of genital mutilation.is perfectly fine, we meant the other one , we hate the other one.
we hate the other
that's it put succinctly.
Mr FBI director....where is my foreskin. Give me back my foreskin.
I bet they're still pushing for boys to be circumcised though
Revolting.
They said to report tips. You should report those missing tips.
If they're gonna go after people who mutilate children they need to start by banning circumcision.
Absolutely should flood the FBI with... ahem.. tips..
Unfortunately, reactionary movements all built upon the premise of unequal enforcement of the rules, so best you can do is to waste their time by reporting intersex mutilations and circumcisions.
Wasting their time and resources should be our prime directive across the board
Spoken like a true Ron Swanson
Which magically doesn't include surgeries on intersex children, because it's the appropriate kind of mutilation under the guise of gender-affirming care.
that’s because they don’t actually want to protect children (or the adults they will become), they want to force conformity onto everyone; so they’ll refuse non-conforming surgeries for those who want them and force conforming surgeries on those who don’t
(I know you know that, just saying it to add on what you said)
How about the people cutting pieces of infants genitals? I wonder when that count as mutilations.
No, that's ok because the crazy cult leader in my town said so.
FBI and CIA are behind a lot of the human trafficking, so word-salad, word-salad, "protect."
They want to protect children by destroying the children that are different.
Conforming to the "norm" is the highest good in conservative ethics; it's a way of signaling allegiance to the in-group.
Their most dripping disdain is reserved for people who refuse to live in the little box that was assigned to them; this is the social contract as conservatives see it.
Without fail the ones that scream 'for the children' are about 99% the ones abusing them.
But circumcision is still very much allowed and is a form of gender affirming care.
There is no way that circumcision can be considered gender-affirming care.
Some say it makes the penis look better so it's a stretch. But it is just as much genital mutilation as the anti trans people claim some other care causes.
That's not gender-affirming care
It will only get worse for us ☺️
I would say come over to the UK, but it's the next worse place in the democratic world.
Might be worth leaving for Canada, as I've heard many have done. Not sure if that's in any way realistic at all for you though.
Is this actually real? What the fuck USA, what did all these Trump voting morons get us into...
Global depression followed by world war while half the planet dies and the climate is ignored.
now now, russia is getting single-handedly held up by ukraine, china seems to be quite happy not being blithering morons and watching everyone else stab themselves in the gut, and america is incompetent, so it'll just be a global depression with half the planet dying and the climate being ignored 🥰
Abolish the FBI
Become a government informant. Report your friends and family. Fabulous prizes to be won!
Sounds like a fun gameshow
I won a new kitchen set worth $12,000! All it took was ratting out my neighbors!
Says the government that uses child porn in sting operations.
I feel like I've seen this before... Maybe it was a movie? Or a game? No, it was a book! What was it called? Something something "History".
