Emblematic of the current fascist US regime

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

That was my first thought.
- Maybe we should start giving them tips about the removal of, well.... tips. At a massive scale, preferably.

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%

- This study appears to focus on breast reduction surgeries, which is considered gender-affirming care. It seems to confirm that breast reductions are overwhelmingly performed on cisgendered males regardless of age.
- I believe the 97/3% is specifically looking at breast reduction surgery. This means 97% were not trans or gender diverse children but they had the surgery. This is something no one would bat an eye at if you were a cis man with man boobs and wanted to look more masculine, but if someone who is trans or gender diverse has the same procedure then it's suddenly a huge deal.
  
  It's a double standard
- Of gender-affirming surgical procedures identified among adults and minors, 1591 of 2664 (59.7%) and 82 of 85 (96.4%) were chest-related procedures, respectively. Of the 636 breast reductions among cisgender male and TGD adults, 507 (80%) were performed on cisgender males. Of the 151 breast reductions among cisgender male minors and TGD minors, 146 (97%) were performed on cisgender male minors (Figure 2).
  
  It doesn't seem to break it down quite how I'd like, but the 97% and matching 3% are specifically about breast reductions.
  
  The things I don't understand are the 85 and 151. What are the differences between those numbers? They both seem to refer to total procedures on minors.

Mutilations huh

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

Mr FBI director....where is my foreskin. Give me back my foreskin.
- Hans Christian Graebener/Stonetoss, is that you?

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

Absolutely should flood the FBI with... ahem.. tips..
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.
- Wasting their time and resources should be our prime directive across the board

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

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)

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

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

How about the people cutting pieces of infants genitals? I wonder when that count as mutilations.

No, that's ok because the crazy cult leader in my town said so.

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

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.

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

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

It will only get worse for us ☺️

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.
- 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.
- the next worse place in the democratic world.
  
  I had really hoped that seeing everything going on might cause westerners to actually question the "white, western = good, democratic vs non-white, foreign = bad, autocratic" framing of western propaganda.

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

Global depression followed by world war while half the planet dies and the climate is ignored.
- 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 🥰
- Oof. God willing you'll be proven wrong. I'm afraid you won't be though.

Abolish the FBI

I miss my foreskin.

It helps that voyager puts a baby emoji next to your account name.

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

Sounds like a fun gameshow

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

Says the government that uses child porn in sting operations.

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".

Report pickup truck drivers lol

Nobody does gender affirming care like Kkkristi Gnome. Start there
