Who else is fine with pretending it does if that results in fewer circumcisions?
Tell the religious people that circumcision causes trans women. At least that one could make sense to someone who’s afraid of trans people.
…did people think it did?
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.
So it’s not as bad as Tylenol?
Is there a study to see if it helps with headache since I can’t take Tylenol anymore?
Can we spread a lie that it does ?
Idk what else will stop people from mutilating their child’s genitals.
Culture needs to be developed where parents are explicitly asked are they mutalating their kids and feel the social pressure.
In the UK, the way they made it go out of fashion is make it so the national health insurance didn’t cover it anymore.
I think that could work here.
There is no reason for it either…
fuck AMAB genital mutilation!!! fucking weirdos!!!
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.
Uh, I don’t think that’s why most modern parents go for it. The reason I’ve heard is “so he looks like his father does.”
Do men typically show it to their kids? Why would it matter to the child?
What if the kid has curly hair after the mother’s parents? Would they shave it too?
Watch back. See eye to eye. Cocked and loaded
You needed a study to know that circumcising doesn’t cause brain structure differences?
This IS idiocracy.
Science!
But it does mutilate the child’s genitals.
The brain bone is connected to the… Dick skin bone?
Well to be fair they do call that bit of it the head so
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.
Im not surprised
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?
Wanna prevent me from doing that? Thats <insert bigotry term> against me and my beliefs
i’ve always compared it to eyelids
skin flap helps keep a semi internal organ lubricated and protected
technically not immediately necessary to function but results in major issues after prolonged absence
people get super offended and upset because removing an eyelid would clearly be abuse
lmao fucking americans
“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
The ones who wouldn’t be persuaded by peer reviewed studies anyway, because they did their research.
