UK Government Petition to ban infant male circumcision - "Make Male Genital Mutilation (Circumcision) an offence unless medically required"

Urgh, as you will.

I have a right to comment because not only did I have the procedure carried out in me, but I also come from one of those communities.

We do have better things to champion. Our govt is litterally taking away out healthcare and all this is doing is muddying the water and having people like me trying to calm water that people like you stir up with no real good reason.

Circumsion is NOT the same as FGM which is a disgusting and obscene act that permanently destroies pleasure for a girl. To conflate the two is a false equivalency.

I am about as left as you ever get and I will never support this. I was Leary about responding to this in the first place as it would just open a fucking can if worms imo but thought maybe hearing from one of the "victims" might cast some context on the matter.

But it's clear I'm having zero impact and am instead being ignored do have at it boss. Go fight that good fight.

Just remember, you don't talk for me.
