and if you were intersex then he would’ve had no qualms with the doctor ACTUALLY mutilating your genitals without your consent. but of course it’s only mutilation to him when it has one of the lowest recorded regret rates among all surgeries. for reference, GAS has regret rates of 0.3-2% while knee surgery has a 6-30% regret rate.

I am telling you that it didnt help me. Lots of missing sensitivity and i have problems that wouldnt have happened if I was uncut. No reason to be doing this to infants who cant consent to bodily modification even if it might benefit them in some ways

Gender affirming care massively improves mental health and suicide risk definitely life changing, unlike circumcision which without a prior condition ranges from no impact to severe harm

ok so no mutilation is non medical, not for the purpose of treatment, often non consensual, and usually performed in an inhumane way

by your criteria, you believe that tonsil and benign tumor removal is mutilation. that removal of an organ for any medical reason is mutilation. to be frank, you're uneducated on this topic and I suggest learning more about it if you plan to continue sharing your opinions on it. and I beg you to listen to medical professionals when they tell you that gender-affirming surgery is medically necessary care. calling GAS "mutilation" signals that you are ignorant at best and bigoted at worst.

should’ve seen this coming! bigoted it is. unfriendly reminder that you’re a conspiracy theorist for disagreeing with every major medical association worldwide.

countless empirical studies show that GAS is medically necessary. you’re disagreeing with basic facts agreed upon by medical professionals, and now that your feelings got hurt you’re resorting to blatant denial and delusion. you’re the definition of a snowflake.
