It's not my take on it, it actually happened in Germany where both Muslims and Jews cried out that depriving them of their right to snip baby dicks is nazi persecution
It’s also happened in a few places in the US. Cities or states tried to outlaw the practice and religious communities screeched about not being allowed to carve up babies’ bodies.
Damn I should tell my surgeon he mutilated me. And my other surgeon, who took out my tonsils, also mutilated me. My dental surgeon, the wisdom teeth removal - believe it or not, also mutilation. Don't even get me started on my dad's heart surgeon, that butcher.
The big difference is the consent; bottom surgery is done with the consent of the patient and circumsicions are typically done to babies who have no say in the matter. Heck, if someone wants to get circumsized later in life, they absolutely should be able to. Don't get the whole thing about 'mutilation', adults should be able to do whatever they want to their bodies.
So someone getting bottom surgery after their penis was irreparably damaged in an accident is being mutilated? Or someone treating a medical issue so they stop passing out from their Cramps? Wow, I'm glad my doc mutilated me out of pain. 🤦
You're saying that bottom surgery is genital mutilation. They're giving examples of situations where even a transphobes should agree that bottom surgery is good. If it is mutilation in those examples, then you agree with what they said. If it isn't mutilation in those examples, then it isn't mutilation in the first place.
We should take this a step further though. Any kind of genital mutilation should be illegal, including bottom surgery.
You said bottom surgery was mutilation and should be illegal. Those are both bottom surgeries, therefore by your own statement you think they should be illegal. I don't have to make shit up when you already did that for me.
Bottom surgery is literally, definitionally, not mutilation when it's done for a consenting adult.
If you want to call bottom surgery mutilation by your own definition, then literally every surgery is mutilation. But like, cutting out my defective heart and installing a working one, while technically "mutilating" me, is objectively a good for my health.
You can call surgery mutilation if you want, but it isn't helpful to anyone and it only serves to make transphobes feel good about themselves.
Bottom surgery should only be illegal if it's done nonconsensually. Adults should be able to do whatever they want as long as it doesn't pose a significant risk to their health.
Tattoos do not pose a significant risk to your health. Yes, there is a risk, there's also a risk from riding a bike or going swimming. If it would put a person at significant risk for major health issues it should not be legal.
