No Stupid Questions

I think cosmetic surgery should be limited to adults, yes. Circumcision here is usually cosmetic (someone wants the baby to look like the Dad, I am not kidding, that is the argument I hear the most) so like labiaplasty, I don't think it should be done to people who can't choose it. I don't think intersex babies should be modified either.

Trans care for minors does not involve surgery. But other gender affirming care should be available to those over 13, like sexual health services are, without parental consent. That's the age we legally think kids get some privacy rights so why not this?

The same answer to both:

Religious indoctrination.

There's actually no mandate for non-Jewish people people to be circumcised in Christianity. It's specifically made clear that it isn't a requirement for "gentiles" in the new testament. But I have a great circumcised cock and I have no complaints. I'm still curious what it would be like naturally though.

In my country circumcision is only for medical reasons

I would have loved to have the option to keep my hoodie on or not. I have a wicked crooked scar down there too. It doesn't keep me up at night but if I was given the choice I would have said no.

Because it's "traditional".

Prepare for all sorts of excuses that appear to be along the lines of "Americans don't know how to wash their cocks".

Assuming you’re talking about male circumscission, the short answer is you’re about to be inundated with accusations of antisemitism.

As for female circumcision; it is illegal in the US. The Stop FGM act was signed into federal law in 2020.

Banning medical procedures is never a good idea. Circumcision can be a necessary measure to improve someone's genital health. Banning circumcision could also result in legal troubles for other surgeries where a scalpel needs to be brought into proximity of a penis.

Compare this, for example, to cases where bans on abortion resulted in doctors unable to carry out obviously necessary steps: https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/16/health/abortion-texas-sepsis/index.html

What could be banned, though, is mutilation of a minor, i.e. no consent and no recommendation for this procedure from a doctor.

Same reason they want to ban trans medical procedures. "Family values"

It's tradition, so supporting it means supporting the status quo. Change is scary, and throwing shade at the past means throwing shade at all the people who've been harmful things all their lives. Can't have that, then they'd be to blame for not doing better (even though most probably didn't know better nor had good resources to know better).

The first problem is using logic. These bans are to hurt trans people to score political points. Nothing more.

Proving they are logically unsound does nothing for the base that eats this up. They just want to hurt those that scare and confuse them, that's all.

Why are you allowed Viagra, minoxidil, testosterone supplements, lifts in your shoes, girdles, hair plugs, tanning booths, calf implants, guns, camo/armor, ozempic and all the other gender affirming care that many conservatives and theocratic nutjobs enjoy to help pretend they're big, strong men and not the withering impotent cowards that they actually are?
