Comment on Texas Republican Primary having a normal one
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks agoSo do you think the mild forms of FGM should be allowed because those are pretty comparable to the male one? Personally I think both should be banned.

I think banning circumcision runs you into many of the same problems that are encountered with banning abortion or gender transition. Or tattoos and ear piercings, for that matter. Or drinking.
You can scare physicians/professionals into refusing to perform it. But then you deal with all the amateurs and their consequences.

Gender transition and abortion are also illegal to do without consent

They’re illegal to do with consent.

I think the point is that it’s not a great comparison because the main argument against circumcision is that it’s permanent and babies can’t consent to it, I don’t think many people try to say that no one should ever be allowed to get a circumcision.

Depends where, they are legal with consent in most western countries.
