Those who are circumcised who tell themselves they fine are deluding themselves.

utterly pointless insulting victims like this. stop.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Fuck no, cause those same shitheads are totally fine with the continuation of the practice. They try to minimize the trauma to feed their own insecurities.

People who downplay circumcision can get fucked.

If everyone got a lucky number tattoo before they could even talk, something nonconsensual and superstitious, some people would end up liking their tattoo or not caring either way. Such a person can still find the practice wrong, horrific even. If you have personal trauma it does not justify assuming people's positions and calling them shitheads.

Circumcision without consent and without a real medical necessarily is barbaric and needs to end.

My point is that I can't take it back, so I choose to enjoy what I have instead of lamenting what I should have. Maybe if foregen succeeds I'll consider that tho

As damn but how is he supposed to feel superior?

As a victim, I wish people had insulted previous victims so that they wouldn't pass on their trauma to the next generation.

I'm not insulting anybody, I'm simply pointing out that to pretend everything is fine, is looking the other way.

How else am I supposed to enjoy what remains of my penis?

I'm empathetic about your situation. I think it's the best to make the best out of it. I simply say that saying all is OK makes it sound as it's a trivial matter, and helps the practice keep being carried out.
