No, actually, it was your claim that there is some weird idea of bodily intactness which is, according to you, some mystical shit. I mocked you by pointing out that keeping the body intact is surely the default position and those who claim otherwise have the burden of proof.

But it’s not the default position, or we wouldn’t let kids do so many things that alter and damage their bodies. Like ballet, and soccer.

The mystical bit is thinking that giving a kid micro-concussions doesn’t violate body intactness and cutting off skin does.
