• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Harris once boasted of 'behind the scenes' work to get 'every' trans inmate access to gender surgeries

"When I was Attorney General I learned that the California Department of Corrections, which was a client of mine – I didn't get to choose my clients … they were standing in the way of surgery for prisoners," Harris said during the 2019 interview. "And there was a specific case. When I learned about the case, I worked behind-the-scenes to not only make sure that that transgender woman got the services she was deserving – it was not only about that case – I made sure that they changed the policy in the state of California so that every transgender inmate in the prison system would have access to the medical care that they desire and need."

Sounds good to me. It helps keep people with male genitals in male jails, and people with female genitals in female jails. Of course, it will still be tricky dealing with the trans prisoners who don't want the surgery, but providing the surgeries to those who want them would be an improvement.

The surgery doesn't actually give them the opposite gender's genitals though, it just mutilates it.

Besides, I think this is the least of our concerns.

Is this your expert medical opinion? Could you share your experience with mutilated genitals? How many circumcisions have you done or witnessed?

That’s literally a fact.

It’s not possible to give a male a vagina or a female a penis.

This isn’t about circumcision, so I think your argument is meaningless.

An "alternative fact", perhaps in MAGA reality. Over here in regular real reality it's just called a medical procedure.

That's just patently false. Ask some good Southern, Christian men in Alabama about it. They'll tell you all about how "you can't even tell!" based on their adult entertainment internet habits.
This isn’t about circumcision, so I think your argument is meaningless.
Circumcision is as much "genital mutilation" as any other surgical procedure a qualified medical doctor\surgeon might perform, but it's an accepted practice for "reasons." What about breast augmentation on young, straight boys who have weird hormones that give them enlarged breast tissue? Is that "mutilation" as well? It's as much gender-affirming care as it is for a trans person, but you guys don't poo-poo that procedure even though it is the most common procedure performed on kids under 17.

So, the deciding factor in whether a medical procedure is deemed a-okay or "mutilation" just seems to be whether the person having it is trans or not.

This has nothing to do with MAGA or adult entertainment. Nice try though.

I believe this issue must be studied further.

I have nothing else to add.
