re: #35 Jimmah

Of course there’s a difference, but I’m asking what it is. I’m not sure why there’s this weird horror with ‘removal’. It’s oddly primitive to me. Playing football, for any length of time, or, dancing, definitely, you reshape your damn bones. Dancers generally aspire to a very unhealthy weight, too, and it’s condoned. And many, many kids play sports just ‘cuz their parents told ‘em they should. It’s not consensual, it’s a parent telling a kid what to do.

I don’t get why impacted bones, permanent damage is somehow better than the surgical removal of a flap of skin in a way actually recommended by the UN to help control HIV.
