    Tell the religious people that circumcision causes trans women. At least that one could make sense to someone who’s afraid of trans people.

    You’re against circumcision because you believe it causes autism.

    I’m against circumcision because I believe genitally mutilating non-consenting infants is an atrocity.

    We are not the same.

    I heard if the doctor doesn’t click his heels 4 times after cutting the umbilical cord or if it is a woman doctor the baby will get the autism.

      Culture needs to be developed where parents are explicitly asked are they mutalating their kids and feel the social pressure.

      I mean, I guess, looking at it with our modern understanding. I look at it like leeches - which were once viewed as a way of helping people get healthier, but then we figured out that was wrong.

        With circumcision we knew it wasn’t for ‘hygiene’ for quite a long time lol. It’s about masturbation. They want men to not be cranking it. They still will tho, that’s the lie that everyone knows and everyone just pretends they don’t. But it’s always been about men jacking it. Can’t be petting the snake with God watching.

    This just in: wisdom tooth removal does not cause autism. Neither does forcibly removing fingernails.

    I mean, they’re all things not to do unless there’s a medical reason for it? But while doing it has consequences, they generally have to do with personal (dis)comfort.

    That said, I’d be upset if someone tried ANY of those procedures on a baby, as they’re all unnecessary on infants.

    But i am surprised that mutilating your childs genitals without their consent … is perfectly legal

    What next… we make a religion that wants to cuts off your own babies ears?

    “Parents have been concerned about this potential circumcision-autism connection, but hopefully these findings may help allay their fears,” says senior author Monica McGrath

    Dear Dr. McGrath,

    Which parents?

    Sincerely,

    Sane people
