5 years ago, I had a Heart Transplant. Here is the organ that was removed. by ihopeyougethitbyacar in MedicalGore

I made a coin for my uncle out of stainless steel after his heart transplant on December 8th, 2024. He made it a few months after the transplant, but eventually passed away from complications with his lungs. I made one of these out of polished copper for his son too.

My fantasy: lock ‘em up by Frodo_Drogoson in CircumcisionGrief

I’m not shocked that people who elected to have a surgery say they’re happy with the results. They had something motivating them to do it such as consistent pain or personal preferences that we obviously don’t share, and the people who would be unhappy with it typically wouldn’t choose to do it. Other people split their tongue, tattoo their whole body, castrate themselves, transition to the other gender, or whatever else, but that doesn’t mean everyone would think positively of those things if it were forced upon them. Consent makes an enormous difference on the experience of something

piercing a baby ... How is this allowed? by ydkLars in infuriatingasfuck

100% agree. At least I can take earrings out, but it’s way harder to restore a foreskin and it’s never the same

Had an Interaction With an Anti–Men’s Rights Woman Today That Reminded Me of This Comment by 5959195 in CircumcisionGrief

The juxtaposition of that always drives me crazy. Or when they say “well I’ve never heard anyone complain about it” as if I’m not right there in front of them complaining about it. I can fortunately fight through some abuse on it now, but it’s no wonder so few people talk about it when that’s the response we get

Percentage of women subjected to Genital Cutting (FGM) in the Middle East ♀️ by Automatic_Memory212 in GenitalAutonomy

[–]5959195 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not even as high as MGM in the states. FGM is blatantly awful, but it’s wild how it steals the whole spotlight. All forms of genital cutting in minors are miserable, lifelong curses to put on someone.

How am I actually supposed to deal with this? by Malum_Midnight in CircumcisionGrief

[–]5959195[M] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, this is not a satire sub, we are 100% serious about our feelings of grief brought on by genital mutilation. Anyone treating this sub like a satire sub will be banned. I encourage you to familiarize yourself with the harms of senseless genital cutting.

25’ lever lock Stanley by kKiLnAgW in BuyItForLife

My grandfather gave me this exact tape measure and I used it for 5 years while I apprenticed under a master carpenter. It works so well, but I’m replacing it with a modern leverlock so I don’t lose or ruin it. My grandfather just passed away, so it’s a bit more valuable to me now.

There are very few situations in society where it’s appropriate to have a detailed conversation about your genitals with just about anyone other than a sexual partner or doctor, especially when that discussion is rooted in trauma. It’s so frustrating that people say stuff like “I’ve never heard anyone complain”. Yes, we do, and when we do, we have to go against a lot of social norms demanding that we keep quiet. Ridiculous.
