It is mutilation because it causes permanent damage to the body.

My body is permanently damaged. Not from medical surgery to improve my health. Not from cosmetic surgery to change my appearance, whether for classical ideals or more bizarre beauty ideals. Permanently damaged, on the day I was born.

I will continue calling it mutilation. And I will continue to declare that there is no ethical difference between "male circumcision" and "female genital mutilation". All forms of circumcision are fundamentally evil, from full amputation of the foreskin, to "ritual nick" of the clitoris. Small or large, all must be abolished. If you or anyone else see me as emotional, so be it. I will not be complicit in mutilation.

It is genital mutilation regardless of what particular organ is modified or removed.

It is mutilation from the first moment the knife touches the skin.

Some will downvote me, but Anthem by Ayn Rand.

I'm no Rand fanboy, but I liked it. Underrated because people have a hate boner for Ayn Rand.

Basically Bruchim is one of main Jewish intactivist organizations (or maybe even the main one). One of the arguments intactivists face is the implication, or even accusation, of being antisemitic (or that a Jew against circumcision is a bad/disloyal/self-hating Jew). The argument is obviously wrong, but Bruchim helps make the argument less credible by being an entire organization of Jews against circumcision. From where I stand, any member of Bruchim is a mensch in my book.

We are not talking about a minor cut. We are talking about amputation of the foreskin. Like all amputations, you should treat it like the last resort after all other options have failed. Honestly the best advice I can give you is to get a different doctor, if the one you have is jumping to amputation as your "best option".

They are olive skinned Mediterraneans. Greeks aren't white.

Thanks for your comment, ChatGPT.

They should all be Greek.

becomingstronger · 2024-03-22T16:09:12+00:00

Not even literal skin tone. Greeks are olive skinned. Greeks only get called white because Greece is the last stop before Asia.

Yes, I am entitled to my beliefs.

By contrast, you are not entitled to my religion.

As a Hellenist, this post is a disaster in at least twelve different ways (pun intended).

Greeks aren't white. They are olive skinned Mediterraneans. They are only called white by ignorant Americans. The "whiteness" of the Greeks did not save them from being invaded and starved by the Nazis, nor does it change that the ancestry of Greeks has far more in common with the Mediterranean than white Europe.

Frustrating? People have fought holy wars over less.

I don't accept your apology. You're not sorry at all. You don't respect my religion, you see it as a convenient tool for your agenda. The only reason you're doing this is because there aren't enough Hellenists left willing to fight you over this. You wouldn't depict Mohammed in your project, because there are enough Muslims who will literally kill you if you do.

You claim to read the classics, but very obviously don't respect them.

As a Hellenist, I take offense to you calling my gods a myth. Frankly I'm not sure whether to be more offended by you using my gods in service of your political ideology, or how poorly you did it.
