6 inches forward, 5 inches back. I lost an angry inch.

Stop all infant genital mutilation.

Not just circumcision but also de-intersex-ification.

When a baby is born with both types of genitals what usually happens is that the male ones are immediately removed and the person is raised as a woman. This is unethical. The infant cannot consent to being mutilated, it is an infant. Ban this barbaric practice.

Good to see these young heros fighting the good fight

I feel like I missed about 10 layers of context here… and I’m not sure I want them 😭

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Americans still routinely mutilate baby boys, because they're stupid

[–] PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world 1 points 8 minutes ago

And fisting is just a beacon of healthy genital exploration?

And culture to a point. My family is from India and places more importance on social standing and "what others think" than personal freedom or happiness. That's why I never have plans to tell my parents I'm gay. I see my uncles and aunts refuse to accept that their kids married non-Indians. I can only imagine how my parents would react to being a gay man.

oh hi vanta 👋 :)

I've never understood it, even for religious reasons. It's not medically necessary, and it weakens your sex organ's ability to do the thing it is supposed to do.

[–] PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world 1 points 7 minutes ago

In what way does it supposedly weaken the dick?

[–] merdaverse@lemmy.zip 8 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It actually is medically necessary if the foreskin is too tight (phimosis). I had it done on the doctor's recommendation and my sex life life greatly improved. But this was as an adult, so not really the same thing.

[–] Azrael@reddthat.com 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, but that' super rare. Only around 0.6% of boys experience it before they're 15. Even if you're born with true pathological phimosis, circumcision is usually a last resort because topical steroids are safer and have a pretty high success rate.

"The incidence of pathological phimosis is 0.4 per 1000 boys per year or 0.6% of boys are affected by their 15th birthday."

penis != boy

better terminology could be used.

[–] lowspeedchase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 hours ago

If we were talking about adults yeah, but the study is mentioning 14 year old boys...

I thought you didn't understand?
