It is different. It's genital mutilation. Has fuck all to do with gender affirmation

So genital mutilation surgery is okay, but gender affirming surgery is not?

They weren't defending circumcision by calling it mutilation.

They were clearly agreeing with the poster above and pointing out the absurdity.

Circumcision (genital mutilation) on infants is widely practiced, thus logically it must be okay. This article asserts Biden says gender affirming surgery should be delayed until 18 years old (not okay on infants)

The person you were berating agrees with you. I'm not sure why you aren't clear on that.

I was not berating Frokke, I was making a comment about Biden's position.

Please point out where I wrote anything remotely close to that. Go ahead, I'll wait.

I read that as not being directed at you but more as realisation that the state of things are even worse than suggested in the first comment.

"Why is this specific gender affirming care ok but not the rest?"

"That specific thing is actually mutilation"

"So to THEM (not you) mutilation is ok but not gender affirming care(any at all)!"

Please point out where I used quotes and claimed you said it. Go ahead, I'll wait.
