Still genital mutiliation and child sex abuse

can we still like, stop doing it though ?

What kind of craziness would cause a person to think that it might?

You're against circumcision because you believe it causes autism.

I'm against circumcision because I believe genitally mutilating non-consenting infants is an atrocity.

We are not the same.

But it does mutilate the child's genitals.

You needed a study to know that circumcising doesn't cause brain structure differences?

This IS idiocracy.

Who... how could... what?

... ah.

"Parents have been concerned about this potential circumcision-autism connection, but hopefully these findings may help allay their fears," says senior author Monica McGrath, research professor in the Bloomberg School's Department of Epidemiology...

Ah ok I understand now.

"Parents".

Bigotry against autists is so extreme that idiot religious extremists will actually consider one of their more barbaric, senseless, cherished traditions as negotiable, relative to the utter 'horror' of their children potentially being autistic.

No but it is cruel as fuck and rooted in religious bigotry

OK but it is still a barbaric practice and I don't see why we allow it. Just because it is culturally accepted does not make it OK.

No but it is cruel and a gross violation of bodily autonomy that should have huge amounts of jail time attached.

Can we spread a lie that it does ?

Idk what else will stop people from mutilating their child's genitals.

...did people think it did?

"Parents have been concerned about this potential circumcision-autism connection, but hopefully these findings may help allay their fears," says senior author Monica McGrath

Dear Dr. McGrath,

Which parents?

Sincerely,

Sane people

Who else is fine with pretending it does if that results in fewer circumcisions?

Obviously. Nowhere to hide the Tylenol.

(why am I like this?)

Stop cutting bits off children, you complete wrong uns.

fuck AMAB genital mutilation!!! fucking weirdos!!!!!

Genital mutilation.

Tell the religious people that circumcision causes trans women. At least that one could make sense to someone who's afraid of trans people.

The brain bone is connected to the..... Dick skin bone?

I heard if the doctor doesn't click his heels 4 times after cutting the umbilical cord or if it is a woman doctor the baby will get the autism.

What? Who are these people that were even linking these two things? I'm actually shocked I can still be surprised by stupidity.

They should still stop doing it though.

It can result in higher rates of herpes in some communities though.

This just in: wisdom tooth removal does not cause autism. Neither does forcibly removing fingernails.

I mean, they’re all things not to do unless there’s a medical reason for it? But while doing it has consequences, they generally have to do with personal (dis)comfort.

That said, I’d be upset if someone tried ANY of those procedures on a baby, as they’re all unnecessary on infants.
