Are you alright, Melania?

No woman needs your or anyone else’s request regarding what she can write here. Women have a right to discuss our bodies.

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.

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…

To be fair, it’s more like apples and bananas, but I agree with you.

People have been coming at me my entire life.

I ain’t even mad... I had some popcorn for this thread, but you make a highly persuasive argument. Gotta go find some weed and Nutella now...

Rebel Girl’s working hard here people!

Honestly, you just read as thirsty for validation. You’re asserting something that is at best highly debatable (“The foreskin on my penis was removed when I was a child but because I identify as female that makes me a victim of FGM”) just so you can accuse people who disagree of denying your womanhood and call them…

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 feel like you need a good joint and maybe a spoonful or two of Nutella? Life is too short. Nobody is coming at you.

No one has tried to make circumcision no big deal. No one at all. You are the one jumping down people’s throats for saying its not the same as FGM, and it isn’t. Circumcision is wrong, I was heartbroken when my nephews had it done to them. Their fathers insisted. Their fathers. But FGM is a crime committed against…

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.

Becausegod forbid CIA women be able to discuss issues about CIA women when that is the topic. Jesus, talk about a circle jerk.

No, a cis woman came in and sprayed her privilege all over this article [...] “Cutting of parts of dicks is totally cool guys”. [...] But she wanted second wave brownie points, so here we are. Yay.

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 cannot believe you said that because when I was 8 my mom took me and my sisters to see the Beauty and the Beast musical matinee in LA and we literally ate at the Cheesecake Factory for dinner after.
