Finally! I Can't wait for them to make infant Circumcision illegal! That's what this is about, right? RIGHT?!

[–] SPRUNT@lemmy.world 31 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That was my first thought.

[–] breakingcups@lemmy.world 35 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe we should start giving them tips about the removal of, well.... tips. At a massive scale, preferably.

[–] Reygle@lemmy.world 109 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Mutilations huh

Everyone please call the FBI to report every single circumcision you're aware of.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 34 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

No, that's the wrong kind of genital mutilation. Our kind of genital mutilation.is perfectly fine, we meant the other one , we hate the other one.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

we hate the other

that's it put succinctly.

Mutilation tierlist

[–] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 29 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Mr FBI director....where is my foreskin. Give me back my foreskin.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hans Christian Graebener/Stonetoss, is that you?

[–] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Is that the far right comic guy? 😨

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, he got doxxed, and at point he was near suicidal about his circumcision, which would be tragic if it wasn't for him being a nazi.

[–] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

Lmfao what!? That's nuts.

Fun fact, 97% of gender affirming surgeries done on minors were not transgender or gender diverse (TGD) children. Only 3% of gender affirming surgeries done on minors were done on TGD children. (Study)

Of course they'll be ignoring the 97%

[–] gerowen@lemmy.world 51 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

If they're gonna go after people who mutilate children they need to start by banning circumcision.

[–] Seasm0ke@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

Absolutely should flood the FBI with... ahem.. tips..

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, reactionary movements all built upon the premise of unequal enforcement of the rules, so best you can do is to waste their time by reporting intersex mutilations and circumcisions.

[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Wasting their time and resources should be our prime directive across the board

[–] Retrograde@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Spoken like a true Ron Swanson

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 51 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Which magically doesn't include surgeries on intersex children, because it's the appropriate kind of mutilation under the guise of gender-affirming care.

[–] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

that’s because they don’t actually want to protect children (or the adults they will become), they want to force conformity onto everyone; so they’ll refuse non-conforming surgeries for those who want them and force conforming surgeries on those who don’t

(I know you know that, just saying it to add on what you said)

[–] Rodneyck@lemm.ee 24 points 2 weeks ago

FBI and CIA are behind a lot of the human trafficking, so word-salad, word-salad, "protect."

[–] El_guapazo@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They want to protect children by destroying the children that are different.

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago

Conforming to the "norm" is the highest good in conservative ethics; it's a way of signaling allegiance to the in-group.

Their most dripping disdain is reserved for people who refuse to live in the little box that was assigned to them; this is the social contract as conservatives see it.

[–] abdominable@lemm.ee 22 points 2 weeks ago

Without fail the ones that scream 'for the children' are about 99% the ones abusing them.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It will only get worse for us ☺️

[–] Armand1@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I would say come over to the UK, but it's the next worse place in the democratic world.

Might be worth leaving for Canada, as I've heard many have done. Not sure if that's in any way realistic at all for you though.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

Wish it were. I have my son here, and I could not bear it if I were to leave him. His mom would never allow for him to come with me, and I would not want to take him away from her. He’ll be 18 next year, so it would be his choice, but again I could not do that to her or make him choose.

[–] LePoisson@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Is this actually real? What the fuck USA, what did all these Trump voting morons get us into...

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Global depression followed by world war while half the planet dies and the climate is ignored.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

now now, russia is getting single-handedly held up by ukraine, china seems to be quite happy not being blithering morons and watching everyone else stab themselves in the gut, and america is incompetent, so it'll just be a global depression with half the planet dying and the climate being ignored 🥰

But circumcision is still very much allowed and is a form of gender affirming care.

[–] Hawke@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There is no way that circumcision can be considered gender-affirming care.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Some say it makes the penis look better so it's a stretch. But it is just as much genital mutilation as the anti trans people claim some other care causes.

That's not gender-affirming care

Abolish the FBI

Become a government informant. Report your friends and family. Fabulous prizes to be won!

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Sounds like a fun gameshow

I won a new kitchen set worth $12,000! All it took was ratting out my neighbors!

[–] henfredemars 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Gross. FBI don't you have something better to do?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, but being ordered to ignore the number one cause of domestic terrorism (right wing extremism) frees up a LOT of time to oppress already persecuted groups of people.

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemm.ee 6 points 2 weeks ago

Says the government that uses child porn in sting operations.

[–] Kjatten@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I feel like I've seen this before... Maybe it was a movie? Or a game? No, it was a book! What was it called? Something something "History".
