Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I'm annoyed I was circumsised. It just sucks that I'd rather have it, but that option was taken away from me.

Body mods, especially genital body mods, should not be done on infants. It's fucking disgusting how common it is in the states. I want my bodily autonomy too, damn it.

It's really fucked how a lot of the justifications are either from convenience and/or or a belief that youth feel pain differently (they won't feel it now, so you might as well get it done while we're here).

And it's something that doesn't have to be done. And then reading into the history of preventing masturbation adds a whole nother level of fucked up puritanical shit.

Yeah people shouldn't have bits of their genitals cut off without consent. It's literally what transphobic right wingers say is happening, but because religion is the reason, it's ok now.

Absolutely. They don't care at all about kids, or they'd also be protesting circumcision. I have literally never seen one of these chuds bring it up. They only care about "order" (what they perceive to be order, anyway). Fucking fascists everywhere.

You can grow it back. There's machines for that

I will look more into that, thank you.
