    I'm uncircumcised and I was never diagnosed with autism!

    Never mind that I would throw a fit as a child if my pancakes weren't cut into a grid AND THEN reassembled into their circular shape.

    My mom (who doesn't like to go to restaurants because being waited on stresses her out) was also never diagnosed with autism!

    Because diagnoses equal incidence rate, right?

    I wonder what other correlations might go with circumcision...

    "There are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism," Kennedy said Oct. 9 at President Donald Trump’s Cabinet meeting. "It’s highly likely because they’re given Tylenol."

    I fear dumbasses are still going to circumcise their baby boys and will just not give them any pain reliever

    So the Christian God of the old testament caused autism by being infatuated with dick tips. Oh the Christian Nationalist are going to lose their shit over this.

    It's a myth that circumcision is a Christian practice. Early Christians debated keeping the covenant, but since they were a proselytizing faith, cutting on your dick is a hard sell and they decided it wasn't necessary.

    The actual origin is 19th Century lunatics who thought masturbation caused disease. These were more health nuts than arch conservatives. Most were vegan, and some even feminist. But they promoted circumcision among boys and girls to prevent masturbation. This is why the practice is American but not European.

    There's female "circumcision", although very rare in the west due to it usually happens without consent of the recipient, so it became a hot topic through alarmism that left out this little detail, which lead to some of the worst arguments against it being used against gender affirming surgeries.

    "There are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism," Kennedy said Oct. 9 at President Donald Trump’s Cabinet meeting. "It’s highly likely because they’re given Tylenol."

    And of course this statistic couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that most boys in this country are circumcised at birth.

    Even now?

    This was the case here in the 70s but, I guess we've moved on in the interceding 50 years.

    I dont think you could find a doctor here that would do it.

    Turns out there's a whole thing here that I just didn't really know about.

    I'm in Australia. I'm 43 years old, and cut. I have a 2 year old son who is not cut, and we just never seriously considered getting him cut as an infant.

    It's only in the last few minutes that I've learned that people are still doing this? Apparently the best stats we have are that in 2010 between 10 and 20 percent of infant males were circumcised. That's down from 85% in the 1950s, so maybe call it 10 percent now.

    I had honestly thought doctors just wouldn't do it unless there was a medical reason. Apparently it's still a thing. There's an association of doctors who will perform circumcision, so you can look one up in your area.

    It's also interesting that it's more prevalent in conservative areas of the US.

    I think my thinking on it has been effected by a few conversations I've seen on reddit and similar. I never thought of my own circumcision as being somehow abusive, but I've seen that some other men really do. As a result of thinking about that I guess I just came to the realisation that removing part of someone else's body for no reason other than my own preference is just weird and wrong.

    Reading about it now it seems like the common excuse is that people say "well my dad was cut and I'm cut and I don't want to have to explain to son-face why his dick looks different". Of all the dumb things to say. "Yeah kid we removed part of your sex organ so it would look the same as my own deformed sex organ". Imagine explaining to your kid that you accidentally cut your finger off so you were going to have to cut his finger off so he wouldn't wonder why he has an extra finger. Of all the dumbassery.

    How does the autism know which Tylenol was for the circumcision?

    So tylenol makes your foreskin fall off which gives you autism? Where do the brain worms fit into all this?

    I'm so confused.

    Since US guys are like 68% circumcised, Jewish folks get circumcised for religious reasons, should be easy to determine that US guys and Jews are like 2x+ as autistic as guys are worldwide

    There MUST be something really important in those Epstein files to make up stuff this stupid for a distraction.

    We don't circumcise in the Netherlands. And we don't have Tylenol. We do have other brands though. So we don't have autism in the Netherlands, except for Jewish men. Guess I don't have autism anymore hahaha

    When you are investigating autism but you're conservative: have we considered children's genitals?

    What does this little boy's Ja Rule have to say about this?

    Just ban circumcision already. Parents should not have the right to cut off your body parts

    Well, if this sets back the rates of circumcision and stops a second Stonetoss from manifesting (no seriously, he became far-right due to his botched circumcision, which he blames on the Jews), then it has at least some good effects, even if unintentionally.

    "Lopping off dick meat after you're born doubles the chances your brain developed abnormalities in the previous 9 months"

    Sure

  • If that leads to less circumcision, that would be a win.
