The idea of NOT scarring or mutilating your body in some way is some mystical shit. Yeah.

It is, when you start using language like ‘mutilation’. People who are circumcised aren’t mutilated, and when you start talking that way, it gets weird really, really fast. I have scars, too, from other stuff in childhood and don’t feel mutilated by them, either.

Can you explain to me the substantive difference between circumcising someone and having them train in ballet, knowing that in the former medical literature considers it a mild medical benefit, and that the latter does literally deform the bones of the feet?
