Female "circumcision" is generally a clitorectomy. That would be like chopping the male glans off, so no, not at all comparable. If there's an intact frenulum then the only function lost happens to be the loss of a homosexual sex act, which I do concede as an actual loss. Every single issue I've seen ascribed to…

I like to think of these as little pieces of performance art.

I volunteer for headline writer!

It's an artifact, only slightly more important than blue laws. That the process is automated via New York's DMV should give you a clue that there's not much attention paid to it. No one is going to trigger the draft tomorrow; Congress would have to activate the selective service and that would make a big hullabaloo.…

Well, then you'd think that women who have experienced that would be keen on not focusing on other women's bodies, wouldn't you?

That's a bit different, mystery burner. A very good question, though.

So you're telling me that you have researched the laws of every state and every county?

It's going to be hilarious when I am free, have access to decent services, and don't have to deal with living in a household that loved that woman to bits.

If you're talking about circumcision, you might as well be talking about the "right" of a fetus. Look, parents have every right to decide on circumcision. That is not going to go away. Instead, how about focusing your efforts on making sure that circumcisions are safe and effective? How about addressing the issue of…

I kindly suggest that you go read a history book.

100% incorrect. Do not, I repeat do not try to speak about the US when you do not live here.

In fact, I was not. I was using it while speaking out in order to emphasize that I was not speaking out under conditions of anonymity. That lack of anonymity - as well as busting the notion that I necessarily had to identify under a female name - was very important.

It's a joke. You could pretty much answer that question the same way you answered the gender one.

Well, 2012 thing notwithstanding. This was a better argument before that happened.

Psh, it doesn't only happen with mental illness! I've been told by a bad counselor that I should "just get up out of bed" during sleep paralysis episodes and that I should just "wake myself up" when I have narcolepsy.

It's about time.

True, but on the same token, wouldn't it be difficult to develop sexual desire without sexual function first? I get the frustration of a loss of sexual function after having lived a life with both function and desire, but what if you never had much function in the first place?

You know, all of the current knowledge on its mechanism of action indicates that for many elements of sexual dysfunction in women, Viagra should work just fine. The lack of studies on this has been repeatedly used as an excuse, which is hilarious considering that the lack of studies comes from the same place as using…

It's OK, I still love you. Also you're just a bear.

Just to make sure we're not getting lost in the Kinja branches here, my reply was specifically to your first reply to Max.
