About time...

[moominmuppet]

Y'all know I'm anti-circ (also anti-any other non-consensual permanent body modification), and that I've been really displeased with the recent pro-circ arguments based on HIV infection (hell, if we cut the whole thing off, no one gets infected, right?? And free mastectomies for all the girls!), so I was pleased to see this today.

When I first read "anti-circ" I thought "What? She's anti libraries? I don't get it!"

*blushes*

I get it now.

I thought those arguments were totally weird myself. I like au natural myself.

*giggle* All about the context...

Being of my generation, and living in the US, the vast majority of my experience is with circumcized men, and I don't have any objection to it on an experiential level, but the idea of that kind of decision being made for someone just makes me angry on a very deep level.
