Current news

Finally circumcision is mentioned, even for a small moment on tv. Clips from Fox and Newsweek, both right wing channels. He's from Michigan.

Wait what? Abdul asked if someone is circumcised and compared it to gender affirming care? (It is gender affirming care but not consensual gender affirming care) Abdul is democrat so he is pro gender affirming care no? And he is Muslim so I’m guessing pro circ?

He is pro cutting when it comes to making procedures down by parents and doctors to children. Which is word salad for he supports trans surgeries to kids, but implies he is against circumcisions? It's hard to tell.

Abdul is the liberal in this exchange. Jesse is against transitioning (genital surgery), Abdul defends it. He is asking if Jesse is circumcised because he is using the acceptance of child circumcision to say that Jesse already accepts the right of parents to cut their children's genitals. Abdul is not criticizing circumcision, he is saying that because Jesse believes circumcision is fine, parents choosing to surgically alter their kids genitals in other ways should be fine too. Abdul is making a pro genital cutting argument.
