I find it unbelievable that in a modern society, the practice of cutting a piece of male babies' dicks is still considered "routine". People make a fuss about female circumcision in 3rd world backward countries (and they should!), yet nothing is done when the same quackery is inflicted on innocent infants in the U.S.
Child abuse is sadly alive and well.

How did circumcision become a thing in the US?

Yet more proof that hormone injections, castration, and having your dick sliced in half/carved inside-out into a fake vagina does not make you a woman, and never will.

I'm all for the right of people to do what they want to their own bodies (not their children's bodies like in the story though), turn yourself into a freak if you want, but don't ask me to support your delusions by actually referring to you as "she" if you were born a man. Because no matter what you do, that's what you will be until you die. (Another tangent I know, but I had to say it since its related).

How did circumcision become a thing in the US?

Not sure, but I've heard it was supposed to make it more difficult to jerk off or whatever.

I'm glad I'm from Canada though- if my parents had had a piece of my dick removed at birth, I'd have sued the shit out of them.

Oh that explains it. I guess it was born from how insanely strict and puritan American Christians can be.

I heard a rumor that in the red light district of Amsterdam, the brasses won't provide you with the service you desire if you have had the ol' slice n dice. Thank god I'm not Jewish.

:???: :?:
not commenting on the dick mutilations, too much gothic architecture for the pot buzz. :mrgreen:
the 'nature vs nurture' question does arise on occasion.
my piece:
obviously nature helps, but what good is it if [??? femthread should fill that blank in] if there's no nurture?
too easy.
wasn't raised in good nature, but i turned out okay. (still need to improve though.)
children do well if looked after with good heart and end up well-adjusted on average, (regardless of how poor the parents/guardians are) and not spoiled like a bastard.
...
yeah! :P
