  • I’d never been particularly ardent about believing it, but this right here is firm evidence to me that existing in a rigid gender binary is mental and spiritual poison. Whoever this person is, they’re never going to grow up.

    Honestly i feel like my role in many of my friendships is simply telling people that they don’t have to follow these prescriptions and are allowed to do things outside of them, and that following these prescriptions isn’t some magic pill that is going to fix their lives, and is more likely a poison. So yeah if you started ardently believing that, I would not be opposed.

    These people are bitter and sad because they are trying to perform in hypermasculine roles that only exist as fiction in marketing and propaganda. I’m bitter and sad because:

    • these people exist
    • i have to acknowledge that part of their ignorance is sustained by capitalist pressure and isn’t their fault
    • i also have to acknowledge that these people are ruining the world and still need to be destroyed because they never show signs that they can be rehabilitated











  • So just a couple things before the rest of this comment:

    • If someone is reading this and wants to comment with information about the state of the penis of themselves or others, i do not consent, please kindly fuck off
    • I don’t think parents should be pushed into circumcising their children.
    • In an absolute scenario where I choose between outlawing circumcision or not, I would outlaw it
    • none of this is really integral to the rest of the comment, i just felt that this would aid with keeping interpretation of this comment clean.

    I spent about five minutes trying to see what I could find out. I looked up a few “intactivist” organisations and, at risk of poisoning my algorithms forever, looked at their socials and who they followed. I don’t think I really found out anything that interesting, except that a lot of them follow daniel “tosh.0” tosh? He probably platformed some of them at some point. Otherwise, I think in terms of what is organisationally there, it’s a little too fringe to be “driven primarily” by any particular cultural faction.

    E: adding that when I think about it, I’ve seen intactivists presented in two tv shows as fringe weirdos. I think the editors of the shows chose to focus just on the views surrounding circumcision and not anything else.
