Finally! I Can't wait for them to make infant Circumcision illegal! That's what this is about, right? RIGHT?!

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That was my first thought.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

we hate the other

that's it put succinctly.

I bet they're still pushing for boys to be circumcised though

Revolting.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago

They said to report tips. You should report those missing tips.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 month ago (2 children)

If they're gonna go after people who mutilate children they need to start by banning circumcision.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

Absolutely should flood the FBI with... ahem.. tips..

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wasting their time and resources should be our prime directive across the board

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Spoken like a true Ron Swanson

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Which magically doesn't include surgeries on intersex children, because it's the appropriate kind of mutilation under the guise of gender-affirming care.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

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)

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How about the people cutting pieces of infants genitals? I wonder when that count as mutilations.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

No, that's ok because the crazy cult leader in my town said so.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago

FBI and CIA are behind a lot of the human trafficking, so word-salad, word-salad, "protect."

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They want to protect children by destroying the children that are different.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

Without fail the ones that scream 'for the children' are about 99% the ones abusing them.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It will only get worse for us ☺️

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

But circumcision is still very much allowed and is a form of gender affirming care.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There is no way that circumcision can be considered gender-affirming care.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is this actually real? What the fuck USA, what did all these Trump voting morons get us into...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Global depression followed by world war while half the planet dies and the climate is ignored.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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 🥰

Become a government informant. Report your friends and family. Fabulous prizes to be won!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Sounds like a fun gameshow

I won a new kitchen set worth $12,000! All it took was ratting out my neighbors!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Gross. FBI don't you have something better to do?

[–] Viking_Hippie 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah, but being ordered to ignore the number one cause of domestic terrorism (right wing extremism) frees up a LOT of time to oppress already persecuted groups of people.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Says the government that uses child porn in sting operations.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

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".
