If all it takes for someone to feel "invalidated" in their womanhood is someone pointing out the fact that they have a penis and thus can't experience FGM, then that's not my insecurity to deal with or enable.

I've been on the internet for a while now, and I've seen some pretty heinous shit. I don't tend to get that upset by people's comments anymore. This, though, is beyond the pale. Congrats on coming up with something so jaw-droppingly callous that you managed to surprise me.

Just wondering where all the trans men insisting on being included and centred in convos re male foreskin removal are? Where are all the trans men telling Jews their thoughts about circumcision need to be more inclusive?

It's more complicated than that. See here http://www.academia.edu/8817976/Female_genital_mutilation_FGM_and_male_circumcision_Should_there_be_a_separate_ethical_discourse … Many people of every sex genitally cut without their consent (myself included) do in fact wish it had not been done.

Oh, for godsake. Male circumcision is not remotely comparable to female genital mutilation. A more apt analogy would be having your entire dick cut off with a razor blade. Men only bring up male circumcision in FGM discussions in order to derail and make things about them. Stop.

Clearly you didn't read the article. Here it is again. Why don't you read it this time, and then let's see if you can use facts to tell us why you think

Circumcision is a men's issue, done TO men BY men (almost always upon request of the baby's father). If you don't like it, organize with other men to change it instead of harassing feminists online.

And #FGM is a women's issue, often done TO women BY women.
True feminists like @GloriaSteinem have spoken out against male circumcision. Women like Heather Hiromimus are victims of it too. If you aren't opposed to male circumcision, you can hardly call yourself a feminist. #i2

"If you aren't spending your precious time and resources fighting on behalf of men (when they would NEVER do the same for women in return), you're not a feminist" LOL sure, dude.

You seem to be overcomplicating this. People deserve the right to not have their genitals cut. It's as simple as that.
