I do not condone any acts of mutilation against children.

What I find shocking is that there are people on here who want to argue some semantic issue and simply ignore the horror that this mass psychosis is creating. It beggars belief that anyone would defend a parent for submitting their child to "gender reassignment" let alone the so called "doctors" who are happy to accept money for mutilating children.

^^^^^This

Sweden have a much bigger problem than the UK and are struggling to come to terms with it. Mutilated children have grown up and now have no idea what they are.

I have absolutely no idea what it's like to be either parent or child in this ^^^ situation. I do know that virtually every situation you come across as a parent for the first time is something you're not prepared for to a greater or lesser extent.

I'm not defending or attacking anyone in this situation.

For all your talk of MSM brainwashing you don't half have a one track message from the other side.

I'd sooner have had mine chopped off when I was an infant than go through the pain I'm in now whilst my urology consultations keep getting pushed back, and that's before you add on the risks of anaesthetics required for adults.
But that's just me, and yes my opinion has done a 180 in the last 2 or so years.

I mentioned it because it's, to me anyway, an elephant in the room. Lots of fuss made about transgender sex change ops etc.* but cultural genital mutilation of males goes unmentioned. How to tell if unnecessary? Not done for medical reasons and not done by a medically qualified person would be two clues.

*And rightly so. Has there been a sudden rise in cases and if so why? Medicine has a long and unpleasant history of bad practice, all those lobotomies done for no good reason for example. The Swedes are interesting too, they were still forcibly sterilising women in the 1980s.

If it was done as an infant for genuine medical reasons then that’s fine. But to be done because ‘God said’ is less fine.

I don't disagree that religion is a f'ing stupid reason for it, however I am coming around to the American norm of circumcision at birth as a preventative medical procedure even when there is no immediate medical need.

This is one occasion where I am happy to admit you are dead right: I have absolutely no time whatsoever for this sort of surgical intervention performed on any child. The whole nonsense about multiple gender, non-binary, transgender is a pseudoscience being perpetrated by the mass media. So yes, I am happy to confirm I do indeed have a one track mind on this issue.

Everybody’s not getting circumcised just because you’ve got a defective knob!

That sounds very gender neutral, how very modern of him to sit whilst performing a tinkle.

I got mine whacked off in 09, go for the general anaesthetic and it's an interesting day out. Believe me, I'm no hero but it's a piece of piss and I didn't need painkillers for the recovery. Yer knob does look a bit Frankenstein for a while though.

I had no idea circumcision involved putting a bolt through your knob???
