Yesterday I had the honor of speaking at The Rally to End Child Mutilation. The rally was scheduled in response to the Vanderbilt Medical Center, where unearthed videos of a presentation made by Dr Shayne Taylor encouraged Vanderbilt to begin child mutilations because they are a “big money maker.”

Shouldn't it be called The Rally to End the Transing of Kids, then?

I would have zero problems with that.

But as it stands, The Rally to End Child Mutilation sounds like it should include circumcision. At the very least, I don't think people should be mad if I reach that conclusion based on the name.

I'm not trying to derail anything. I first heard about this rally on the intactivism subreddit. I couldn't share my opinion there because it's inexplicably pro-trans, so I came over here.

I can agree with your point about focusing on one issue at a time, that's probably the most efficient way. But I think it's fair to criticize Matt Walsh for using vague language like "child mutilation," when he only opposes one specific form of it and not all child mutilation.

If we are to see success, shouldn't we avoid contradicting ourselves?
