God is stupid and can’t create good genitals as is.
No but it is cruel as fuck and rooted in religious bigotry
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.
Well, better than not being against it…
Yeah, honestly if this is a psyop to return a little bit of humanity to the world then I’m alright with it
Agree and all, but to add - I road bike and run ultra marathons. When doing super long distances, you’re gonna end up chafing a bit (probably). I would much rather my foreskin get the rub as opposed to THE SENSITIVE TIP OF MY DICK.
You know what really hurts? Water hitting raw skin that’s been rubbed in shorts or a bike bib for 4+ hours.
I’m sure it will have negative long term impacts to my ability to be stimulated.
Yeah, something a lot of people don’t realize is that circumcized dicks lose a lot of sensitivity due to the excessive friction they go endure throughout each day just by moving around normally.
I read somewhere that intact dicks are basically a mucus membrane underneath the foreskin. That’s wild, my dick skin is more like the skin on the back of my hand. No wonder people are so obsessed with sex, it must feel so damn good for uncircumcised people. Something I’ll never experience. Damn religion.
No but it is cruel and a gross violation of bodily autonomy that should have huge amounts of jail time attached.
Thank goodness my parents said they would rather have left that choice to me when I was old enough. As an adult, why the fuck would I get circumsized unless you have a specific reason to do it?
I’m jealous that your parents cared enough to let you decide. I wish mine had done the same.
As for why you would do it willingly I don’t know either.
I got the last laugh. I was cut as a newborn, but I still didn’t end up with the parts my parents wanted. They took a little snip. I went for the full origami of gender reassignment surgery. 🤣
Take it one step further, and invent an entirely new set of genitals just to piss them off!
I went for the pretty standard fem package. But there are folks doing some pretty wild things out there now.
Really? I’m a cis dude and I haven’t heard of any of that from my trans friends, I’m genuinely curious. I couldn’t imagine what other designs people would go for. Do you like draw it up in CAD before hand or something?
I’m a binary trans woman myself. I just wanted the full standard package.
But there are varieties, mainly spearheaded by the nonbinary community. There’s zero depth vaginoplasty, where they make a labia but no vaginal canal. (Easier maintenance, ideal for lesbians with no interest in penetration.) For asexual folks or those with no interest in sex, there’s nullification surgery, aka the “Ken doll” method. And for the most exotic, the term you’re looking for is “Salmacian.”
Here’s a subreddit. Obviously NSFW:
they could have a “design your own genitals” kiosk like the “design your own building” ones at lumber yards.
I want mine to have pincers!
… To grab someone with?

What else would you use them for?
A friend of mine did it for medical reasons. His foreskin was too tight to pull back, which made it really hard to clean, and I think there were some other problems associated with it as well.
I’ve never heard about an adult getting circumcised as an adult for religious reasons, but I’m sure some people do it.
And it was his choice so I have no issue with it, forcing it upon someone is what I take issue with.
I’ve heard that a lot. I’ve even had someone approach me after taking a public shower before and try to strike up a conversation about my bits. Sorry about your bits, brother.
It is what it is, I’ve come to accept it but I will never not be mad about it.
Thank you for the condolences.
Who… how could… what?
… ah.
“Parents have been concerned about this potential circumcision-autism connection, but hopefully these findings may help allay their fears,” says senior author Monica McGrath, research professor in the Bloomberg School’s Department of Epidemiology…
Ah ok I understand now.
“Parents”.
Bigotry against autists is so extreme that idiot religious extremists will actually consider one of their more barbaric, senseless, cherished traditions as negotiable, relative to the utter ‘horror’ of their children potentially being autistic.
Right?‽ the logic of this is just so messed up on both ends
One way or another, they just can’t help but to cut you down and fit you into one of their simple little boxes they understand.
OK but it is still a barbaric practice and I don’t see why we allow it. Just because it is culturally accepted does not make it OK.
Genital mutilation.
Who else is fine with pretending it does if that results in fewer circumcisions?
Nah, there are plenty enough confirmed reasons why this is bad.
But if you know one thing about conservatives, it is that they’ll whitewash everything they want. They won’t stop even if you say it causes autism, depression, or sudden death.
Well, they answered for “just after birth”, but what about a week later? Or two? Or a month? Or 2hours and 12 minutes? We don’t know anything that. I would not take that risk.
There surely is a way to cause confusion.
I’m on board with that.

…did people think it did?
It’s such a weird thing to do a study on in 2026 given how many thousands of years of data we already have. Like if it made any difference at all it definitely would have been spotted by at least Roman times.
Stop cutting bits off children, you complete wrong uns.
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.
Wait one thing american insurance has no problem covering is penis mutilation? Looking at this more - it is true though not covered by medicaid or if you’re an adult. How fucking weird. I genuinely don’t understand this but my bad here for trying to rationally explain this.
How fucking weird. I genuinely don’t understand this
Jeezus said so, that’s why.
If you keep digging and playing an adult game of “why?” you eventually come to that “reasoning.” It’s ultimately why we can’t have nice things because religion falls to critical thinking skills, falls to history, falls to literature, and falls to the scientific method.
It’s like any other group of people: it’s held up by people who’ve “paid their dues” and need younger people to buy into the system and feed it so the older folks can coast through the end of their life. The system is brutal to people who don’t conform. They usually end up expelled from the group and left without resources to build back up again. It’s why there are whole other support groups, as an example, to get people out of the LDS sphere of influence.
And by the way, to you good people helping folks escape from the LDS: you would do well to read all the stories about whole chinese police departments working in North America, and what’s going on with Flock, and LLMs gathering up data, and it all being available for purchase. I hope your OPSEC is up to having that light shined on you.
They should make it illegal
It “going out of fashion” didn’t stop my Jewish parents in the UK mutilating me
That’s a good point. It won’t stop Jewish parents. I feel like it would be hard to make it illegal without making a religious exception. But that’s what needs to happen.
I don’t see it as any different than female genital mutilation, which is banned and illegal in most countries. Most people seem to be in agreement that it’s not acceptable. Regardless of religion or cultural views of the individuals doing it. Why is this not applied to boys?
I mean, I personally think allowing harm based on religion is just opening the door for any crime.
“12 year old girls have to first have sex with an older male in their family because it’s part of our religious beliefs”
You can literally make up any horrors and say your religion requires it.
*mutilating, fyi
Never thought it did.
Still ain’t right.
What? Who are these people that were even linking these two things? I’m actually shocked I can still be surprised by stupidity.
They should still stop doing it though.
Tell the religious people that circumcision causes trans women. At least that one could make sense to someone who’s afraid of trans people.
Aren’t there literally people who were biologically male but raised as a girl due to botched circumcisions?
There’s a famous one. He transitioned as an adult and later died by suicide.
I think so. There are also some intersex people who were “modified” as a baby to be female, but heaven forbid waiting for the child to at least be cognizant.
Seems unlikely, it would have to be a really botched tip snip to get the balls.
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?
I mean typically I imagine a child sees the parents penis at some point. Either having a bath with the or walking in on them going to the bathroom or even going to the bathroom with them.
My mom, an RN, had me mutilated because “it reduces the risk of transmitting HPV”.
The HPV vaccine is way more effective. Did you give you that?
I know I got it, but I think it was the doctor who gave it to me, I have a fear of needles.
Did she also have your spleen removed.
Watch back. See eye to eye. Cocked and loaded
