I am much too old for 1D and I do not get at all why he’s attractive. I do not get it.

Exactly. Anyone who doesn’t think this happens all the time is delusional.

The cynic in me says the only reason they were fired was because it was caught on video. However, I realize that at least this is progress and we should be happy that something actually got done for once.

In history classes far into the future, the question: what was the tipping point that started WWIII? will be easily answered on final exams, much unlike the convoluted response for say, WWI, it will be a simple, one word answer: Twitter.

Yeah, so I’m guessing sending an aircraft carrier across the sea didn’t exactly help, either.

So did cornflakes. They’re still not comparable.

Literally nobody here is disagreeing with the point that circumcising babies’ penises is problematic at best, since babies are incapable of giving consent. What people are disagreeing with is your insistence that there is no difference between circumcising a penis and “FGM,” a term that includes clitoridectomy, not…

“Camps? I think he meant centers.” - Sean Spicer

You may be a woman, but you are not female and do not have female genitals. Ergo, you cannot have had female genital mutilation.

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.

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…

I haven’t seen any comment saying circumcision is “no big deal.” I’ve seen comments saying they aren’t the same, which they aren’t. They are radically different medical procedures with drastically different intentions and end results. The only people being silenced are the poor girls who undergo this procedure because…

You might be a woman but you still retain your pre-transition level of male entitlement and desire to mansplain to others about stuff you don’t understand. When you are born with a vagina and it is cut away as a child and sewn shut and infected then you can talk.

YES. It’s crazy to me that there’s no mention of charges against the parents who made this happen.

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.

Yes, but there’s a time and a place to talk about nonconsentual circumcision of the penis. Generally speaking, it’s not when talking about forced clitorectomies, since that’s a specific problem that has proven pernicious and needs to be stamped out.

The doctor was identified as being part of the community that was seeking out her services. Just disgusting. This story makes me fucking furious. I read the court documents, and this woman is a fucking monster. I hope she goes to prison.

No, amputating a girl’s labia isn’t “kinda close” to a male circumcision, an arguably outdated but still minor procedure developed by men to reduce men’s vulnerability to STDs and skin diseases prior to antibiotics and modern hygiene. What a disgusting thing to say. Own your privilege as someone assigned male at birth…

I do think she loves her kids though. And the fact that she and K-Fed can come together to throw them birthday parties is nice, IMO.
