If a "loving" parent can go along with calling their little boy a girl or vice versa on the basis that "it's legal" and "the doctor said it was a good thing", what won't they go along with using those excuses?

@CircmcisionIsChi1dAbus3 You miss the point. It's the reason something is being done that matters. And "it's legal" or "the doctor (who also cannot make sense of this incoherent worldview) said it's right" are not good reasons. I would agree with you on circumcision, personally, that religion in and of itself isn't good enough reason, but there are plenty of established reasons to have that done.

@CircmcisionIsChi1dAbus3 Well again, he's not necessarily being hypocritical, because the reason is what matters. It's like, is it wrong to cut someone open with a knife? Well not if you're a surgeon performing life-saving surgery.

@CircmcisionIsChi1dAbus3 How is circumcision unethical? Surely you're not saying all decisions made by the parents about the child's body without the child's consent are unethical. The case has been laid out against all this trans nonsense, but you've yet to give a case against circumcision.

@CircmcisionIsChi1dAbus3 "what's unethical about cutting away a childs healthy se-xual organs...?" The foreskin is not a sexual organ... "If I were to do the same exact procedure to a grown adult, I would be committing dozens of felonies." As you would if you strapped him into a car seat and decided he's moving to another state or some such, without consulting him. Parents make decisions for their children all the time. Comparing this with "gender affirming surgery" is wrong on at least two levels: 1. The latter is based entirely on an incoherent worldview, not any sort of biological realities or knowledge. Parents may choose circumcision after learning about balanitis, phimosis, etc. and 2. The circumcised child can still live a normal life, reproduce, etc. when they get older, whereas the "gender affirmed" child's body has been entirely ruined in these ways. "Why on earth would it he okay to cut a BABY?" That's the question, isn't it? And it has to be answered more specifically, on a case-by-case basis. Should a doctor not perform life-saving heart surgery on a baby? And no, these reasons are not akin to the excuses given for trans surgeries. Again, one is based on medical knowledge (albeit not medical consensus regarding the conclusion) and the other is based on transgenderism which is an incoherent worldview.
