Noble right-wing commentators beat their chest about ‘protecting children’s bodies’; guarding their s*x organs from the dangers of pervasive ideology. Many join the fight. Rallying, and protesting, to stop the needless surgical altering of children’s g*nitalia... without ever realising that such a thing is already happening, and has been for thousands of years. Look around. It’s a battle we’ve already lost. The National Center for Health Statistics estimates 64% of new born baby boys in America, are circumcised, and virtually all of them for non medical reasons. Meaning – every year – more than a million baby boys are strapped down, screaming, in the first few days of life, to have their genitals altered, for no good reason whatsoever. Why do we do this? Well, religious and cultural reasons, but also because it’s normalised and familiar, and for the “preferences” of future partners. Yes. The most carried out medical procedure in America, is the systematic, s*xual violation of a baby boy’s bodily integrity; that comes with virtually no medical benefits and a raft of medical complications, such as erectile dysfunction, reduced sexual sensitivity, trauma, and even death. A baby boy dies every three days from circumcision in America. And yet, our brave right-wing pundits, and all their bluster of ‘children’s bodily integrity’ falls silent. The fight to preserve the integrity of our childrens’ bodies has already been lost. And the right are squabbling over a comparative handful of cases of ‘trans-affirming surgery’; whilst looking the other way as an ocean of human rights violations against baby boys swells up behind them. So let’s look at this double standard, and test the world renowned ‘logic’ of one of its biggest and most hypocritical advocates… Ben Shapiro.
