Why would you steel man child mutilation? "

I'm not sure how any of my comments steel man child mutilation or even surgery for adults. In fact I was contemplating based on my own experience with someone who had a body dysmorphic mental illness if being more accepting or at least not coming down harshly critical of how they perceive themselves may actually lesson the desire or draw focus away from physically altering themselves. I think it will be dependent on the individual. And I could be completely wrong

I'm not acting like anything. I'm directly engaging in the OPs question. If more folks on this board would actually discuss issues instead of circle jerking or assuming agendas and perspectives it would make for a more interesting time.
