Anybody want to commiserate on something that sucks?

    I’m annoyed I was circumsised. It just sucks that I’d rather have it, but that option was taken away from me.

    Body mods, especially genital body mods, should not be done on infants. It’s fucking disgusting how common it is in the states. I want my bodily autonomy too, damn it.

      It’s really fucked how a lot of the justifications are either from convenience and/or or a belief that youth feel pain differently (they won’t feel it now, so you might as well get it done while we’re here).

      And it’s something that doesn’t have to be done. And then reading into the history of preventing masturbation adds a whole nother level of fucked up puritanical shit.

        Absolutely. They don’t care at all about kids, or they’d also be protesting circumcision. I have literally never seen one of these chuds bring it up. They only care about “order” (what they perceive to be order, anyway). Fucking fascists everywhere.
