Do you support male #circumcision?
Do you also believe #trans women are women?
Do you believe even one's status as male or female is variable based on self-identity?
If you answered yes to all these, then congratulations: you support female genital mutilation!
#FGM
Considering that circumcision offers health benefits like reduction of UTIs and yeast infections, whereas FGM increases the risk of same (on top of pain, wound infection, death, etc), you can't compare the two.

I mean, obviously there's a big difference. I'm not saying it's not, actually. I'm pointing out that there's a strange situation in which some people, often called progressives, whom you'd think would be against it, are for so-called "female circumcision."
-
That implies progressive people are inherently stupid and don't know the difference between one surgical procedure and another, so no, not really.
-
If a person with a circumcised penis who identifies as a woman is a female, then that is a female who was circumcised. She underwent female circumcision. That's my point. It's just pointing out a strange artifact of the system of beliefs. I'm not making a real point.
-
No, because female circumcision is the name for a specific set of surgical procedures.
-
Good point. I guess you're right.
