Genitalia mutilation if you are antisemitic

Here's a thought. If you are this fixated on the practice of circumcision, which is your right, then why not start your own thread? I bet that could end up being one of the most entertaining threads in the history of the PT Board.

But like I've already said, this thread had NOTHING to do with circumcision. For you to make it into that, and then accuse me of being anti-semitic tells me that you have issues.

That's my honest opinion after reading your crazy, nonsensical comments in this thread.

This is a solid point, but kind of hard to ignore that at 18, you're mature enough to vote, buy a long gun, enlist/be drafted into the military, and be sentenced to death for a capital crime. (But you can't buy alcohol!

Yeah, I understand. I just think this decision is so monumental and life-changing that an older age of 21 would further reduce the twin complications of immaturity and outside influence.

I'll be honest and say that I personally abhor the transgender process at any age. Ellen Page was 33 years old at the time she went thru the process. I had a bit of a crush on her, and I can't look at her today without thinking "What a shame."

But since this is "a thing" now, was it my place to tell her she couldn't do it? I don't think so, even though I honestly think she made a terrible mistake. Besides, my #1 issue is making sure that this doesn't happen to children (Which, of course I have ZERO ability to stop it).

What about at the top?

Circumcision is mutilation.

Only if you're generalizing the definition to such a point that things like the removal of tumors, breast reduction, etc. is also a mutilation. At that vague a definition, it's not even worth having the conversation any longer because nothing has meaning.

My take is as an adult you can get whatever surgery or dress however.

Don't expect special treatment and don't push it on kids.

1) I would start by making the mutilation of children illegal.

2) IMO, anybody who reaches the age of 21 and wants to go through the transgender process should be free to do it, AS LONG AS THEY PAY FOR IT THEMSELVES

99% of dems agree with this, believe it or not.

So here goes, and I'll use a bullet-point format:

This doesn't settle how we have to treat an adult (or a child) who thinks they are the opposite sex. Do they get to use the bathrooms, compete in the sports, insist other people use the pronouns for that sex?

You defined the only points that matter - anything else is just blather

Thanks.

Concerning that second line, I have that thought often when I come here.

Here's My Take Regarding the Issue of Transgenderism



Is there an issue that affects less people that is talked about more than transgenderism?

---

As usual, you contribute nothing.

Are you unaware that children have had this done to them? How many children have to go thru this before you give a damn about it?

As usual, you're just a trolling weirdo.

It is just generally accepted mutilation.

Maybe that's because it:

1. Doesn't affect the function of the body part in question, like, at all.

2. Doesn't claim to change the recipient into a completely different person with a different gender and identity.

3. Isn't medically dangerous...again, like, at all.

4. Doesn't leave the recipient sterile.

Other than those things, sure, they're practically the same procedure.
