uggh. when i'm overloaded with angst and anger and hopelessness, I rant about religion. religion seriously fucked me up. it's vulgar and harsh. the whole lot of it. time to curl up, get some sleep and limit the bitching. sorry. <3
I refer to the great I Am, Yahweh—El Elyon is indeed 1 of his names. Equating circumcision (benign & aesthetic) w/ genital mutilation (destructive by definition) is horrifically perverse. Doing so obfuscates the very real ongoing atrocity of female genital mutilation. Plz don't.

Ritual infant genital mutilation is definitely not benign. Hundreds of babies die in America every year because of botched - completely unnecessary - IGM procedures. Worse is that some sects practice oral suction.https://abcnews.go.com/Health/baby-dies-herpes-virus-ritual-circumcision-nyc-orthodox/story?id=15888618 …

Not one person in America or Canada has gone to jail for mutilating babies and sexually assaulting them, because religion freedom.

When the procedure is performed incorrectly, then of course there will be adverse results & "mutilation" would apply. But those are in the extreme minority. You're trying to label all circumcisions as genital mutilation, which is absurd & detracts from the real suffering of FGM.

Male GM causes great suffering. You lack empathy for infants because you have been brainwashed into believing infants don't feel pain because they can't articulate it verbally, like many people believe. https://gizmodo.com/why-are-so-many-newborns-still-being-denied-pain-relief-1755495866 … https://www.bostonglobe.com/ideas/2017/07/28/when-babies-felt-pain/Lhk2OKonfR4m3TaNjJWV7M/story.html … http://www.nocirc.org/symposia/second/chamberlain.html …

On the contrary, I contend that babies feel pain even in utero. So of course the procedure is painful for a few days, but that's a far cry from equating it to actual mutilation, which again is destructive as in female genital mutilation.
