I never argued against the transabled mutilating their bodies - you made that assumption on your own. Were you not paying attention when I said it is not for me to decide what other people do with their bodies? What part of that don't you understand? In many parts of the world female genital mutilation occurs because of ancient cultural traditions. Here in the West we circumcise boys. Whether I personally approve of  these practices or not is irrelevant. I respect the personal sovereignty of the individual (or the underage individual's guardian) to decide for his or her self, and would defend that position in any circumstance that I can imagine.

Got it...finally?
