Oh good I’m so glad you’re here. It would have been hell to spend one minute not talking about a penis.

You are 100% wrong. The equivalent would be if your penis and scrotum were hacked off, then badly stitched up.

ME ME ME DON’T YOU FOOLS SEE IT’S ALL ABOUT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

You’re the one bringing that energy in here, tho. Nobody reasonable is here saying that “circumcision is great!” However, people are trying to say that you’re derailing an important conversation.

Article: FGM is bad.

It doesn’t merit discussion. Because this article isn’t about male circumcision. Articles about cancer don’t merit discussion about AIDS, because the article isn’t about that. It’s not dismissing AIDS, it’s just not discussing it.

This. Isn’t. About. You.

First of all, you are a male, with a penis. Who suffered male genital mutilation. Stop trying to colonize women’s issues. Second, you really can’t see how petty and childish and straight up ridiculous you are coming off by trying to change the focus onto your own issues? This is not a competition you know? The story…

Have you been a boor your entire life too?

I’m looking.

I wish I was surprised that one of the first comments on a FGM article was about the damage done to penises, but I’m not.

I’mthinking in the insufferable category you have us all beat in the terrible person category. So insufferable I wonder if you are an MRA troll.

They are apples and oranges because circumcision doesn’t take away a guy’s ability to have an orgasm. There’s also some good health effects of male circumcision, whereas female circumcision does not help anything but can be harmful.

Nah. You were a male when that happened. You saying it’s effectively FGM shows that you know it’s not.

Did I ever say they weren’t? I specifically said biologically and publicly identifying as for a reason. And no I will not get out of here because you decided to come in here and derail an issue and make it about you. And if you can’t see how that bullshit “but what about circumsion” arises every single time FGM is…

As another trans woman who was circumcised at birth and not thrilled that it still goes on, you really need to cut this bullshit out. Even if you sincerely believe that a circumcision is comparable to a clitoredectomy (lol) I can guarantee you that all you’re doing right now is pissing off would-be allies and giving…

You brought up penile circumcision on an FGM post in the first place. You did the exact same thing that MRAs do. I realize you did it for entirely different reasons — as I wrote, your experience is important and valid — but it is NOT this. You are a woman who experienced penile circumcision and that is not what is…

No. I realize we are all limited to our lived experience, but your experience here is not analogous with what this doctor did or what people commonly refer to as FGM.

Nowhere did this article even bring up circumcision. Why is it so hard to stay on topic when it’s about an atrocity that’s done to women’s sexual organs? Why is it always, “We must discuss the penis first!”
