I'm an intactivist, all children have the right to be protected from genital cutting before they can consent, regardless of their genitalia. A consenting adult has the right to do what they want with their own body. #intactivism #i2 #autonomy

Centralization is to convenience what prison is to free housing
@AugierLe42e @Zoidtes@mastodon.social Circumcision was introduced to the US in the late 1800s as a way to punish boys for masturbating. The other arguments for it came later, after it was already widespread.
When I asked my parents, they said that part of the reason they circumcised me was because it was in the bible. They thought that it had to have some sort of health benefit if it was commanded in the old testament. Most Christians in the world don't circumcise, Galatians 5 even says that circumcision severs you from Christ.
Only a consenting adult should be able to choose to have parts of their genitals cut off. All children need to be protected from genital cutting, whether they are male,, female, or intersex.

There should be a list somewhere of all fediverse instances that no longer exist. A social media grave yard.
transphobia, general ignorance, yes you guessed it, video games
@Bryanne@radical.town Oof. I also bought the game a while ago. The gameplay was great.
@Zoidtes@mastodon.social It's terrible when something like this happens. A recent study found that over 10% of the circumcisions they tracked were botched in some way: http://spuonline.org/abstracts/2018/P21.cgi?fbclid=IwAR2i6ihhKEzPTXABDkJbJ67nVKQZ3cWsc9gMmicPtvsSgxLymKxClMhoyXQ
There is no requirement in the US to record or report botched circumcisions. I was circumcised so tight that my skin would sometimes tear and bleed when puberty started. Restoring my foreskin has helped a lot with that.

old tech and how it is still important
computer tech from the 1980s is still everywhere, hiding behind the scenes in everything we do, and isn't going away anytime soon
the faa uses 386 and 486 at clones running from floppies to control airplane runway lighting
that i know of, both 3.5" and 5.25" floppies are also used in textile manufacturing, as well as metal machining for aircraft parts. the most accurate cnc machines still use these and use custom interfaces, so floppy emulators aren't an option
@popefucker@cybre.space She had to go to the vet today. Apparently she has bad allergies that are making her itch a lot, so much that some of her fur is coming out.
@ky0ko I work at a computer repair shop, and we still copy data off of 5.25" floppies for people occasionally. We still use 3.5" floppies regularly too, our software for mirroring and erasing hard drives runs off of a floppy.
@Elizafox Here's another video about IGM by an intersex person who was left intact: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9A1rO3eDVM8
https://intersexroadshow.blogspot.com/2011/04/intersex-genitalia-illustrated-and.html
California is the only state with a law restricting operations on intersex minors, and New York is working on a bill right now.
@Elizafox Yeah, it's terrible. It's also still not uncommon for intersex children to be castrated, even when there is no medical reason for it. The "normalization" operations are often done for social reasons, and they can cause a lot more harm than good.
Here is a good video by an intersex person who had this done to them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yHAYOvTdMI They were born with external genitals that appeared female, and internal testes. They were castrated shortly after birth, and because of that, they had to take hormones to go through puberty.

horrible US history fact:
The US used to forcibly sterilize the mentally disabled and ill as part of a eugenics program
and yes, the Nazis were inspired by it
and I don't think the US has ever truly reconciled it's past
instead, we just buried it, just like American businessmen links with Nazis

Receipt paper is carcinogenic.
Avoiding receipts by stealing everything.
@dragon I did the same thing on PureOS, which also doesn't have 32 bit repos
@thufie Yeah, that's really annoying. I wish there was a key combo to just cancel the current stop job and move on.
