If there's no medical reason, there's no reason at all. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] 6daemonbag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 3 years ago (1 child) At that point, he would be an adult making a decision. It doesn't matter why for us in regards to his choice. Maybe he becomes religious or succumbs to social pressure. He could get a Prince Albert, too, or those weird beads. As a parent it's their job to protect him from harmful societal norms and religious indoctrination until he becomes an adult. Hopefully the education sticks long enough for him to deeply understand and respect his body, to seek out more helpful mentorship when needed, and pass along that education and protection to his future potential children. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] rikudou@lemmings.world 6 points 3 years ago (1 child) It's not that I disagree, I just can't imagine anyone who's not broken in the brain to want this. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] pyromaniac_donkey@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent [–] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works -3 points 3 years ago Tell that to the chick who turned herself into Barbie or those twins that did... whatever it was to themselves and thought it looked anything but horrifying.

It was just a bad idea in every single humanly possible way. permalink fedilink source parent
