Even inexpensive purchases may be looked at that way! Yeah what they wrote has no meaning.

People often view concerts as a way to let loose, express themselves, and make the most of the money they’ve spent on the experience

This is a hell of a sentence. Let me emphasize one part of it.

People often view concerts as a way to … make the most of the money they’ve spent on the experience

Man that says a lot. Once something costs $200 you start getting entitled behavior from people who “paid $200 for this.”

Make concerts affordable again.

Good point, though I would expect the effects of these gloves on the victim to be visible from across the street. That’s assuming they are like tasers. People react pretty visibly.

That’s overstating it. There wasn’t even a conversation about it let alone anything as strong as a doctor’s recommendation. More like a default hospital protocol. Which I’m sure you’d agree should be open to question.

I accidentally replied under the wrong comment and deleted within seconds :) Not sure how you managed to reply twice. I see replies sometimes persist in messages/notifications despite being deleted from the thread. Anyway.

Never thought it did.

Still ain’t right.

I’m from the US and didn’t circumcise my son. It’s really simple. Who doesn’t want more penis? I’d take more penis. Penis is all good. Why subtract penis?

When my older brother had a son he DID circumcise him. When I asked why, he gave me this head shake as if to say “huh? what?” and all he said was “that’s just how they do it at the hospital we went to.”

I mean labor and childbirth are a whirlwind so I don’t blame anyone for losing a detail or two. Unless that detail subtracts a part of my penis. Then we gone fight.

Don’t assume testosterone levels actually map easily to stereotypical traits like that.

HRT is fundamental enough to just be considered healthcare - lots of people do it to address real symptoms, regardless of their gender identity.

I honestly have trouble complaining about this. Screening is voluntary and they are offering treatment as well.

I know Kegsbreath will only approve it because GRAH! ALPHA MALE! but I’ll consider it a case of a broken clock being right twice a day.

“Second?”

American conservatives talking about “freedom” have very much come to resemble spoiled children wailing about any resistance to even their flightiest whims. A government advisory does not impinge upon your freedom, jackasses.

I see the general point, it’s just the perforce absolutism of it that I don’t get.

For example, if what you say is true and as long as a large population survives, all its genes necessarily do to, then shouldn’t there be people somewhere in some numbers that exhibit every trait in every one of our evolutionary ancestors? Even in your own examples you only go up to one in a billion, but odds do actually go lower than that.

I have trouble processing the word “never” in your statements here because evolution has consigned so much to extinction that I don’t understand why traits can “never” disappear. Can you explain why a phenotype that would prevent you from reproducing can “never” lead to a genotype disappearing entirely? Blocking reproduction seems incompatible with life to me.

He’s certainly less likely to die from a wild dog biting his prick off.

You’re right - it’s similar to how men have nipples for no reason except that they are formed before sexual dimorphism begins to differentiate a male fetus from females. In defiance of the typical MAGAt’s view that sex is fundamental, essential and entirely binary, it’s more of a vestment that each of our core selves is garbed in. The morphology of tissues being signaled by hormones, you can easily imagine that it gets tuned differently for different people.

It’s a good point that traits may not be useful now but could be useful later. Perhaps I just lack Imagination but I can’t visualize the change of season that’s going to make micropenis a survival advantage.

I don’t actually see it written anywhere that he is incontinent, as in he can’t control when he pees.

You might have thought this because the Guardian article says he must “wear diapers for adults with incontinence,” but that appears to be a descriptor of the diapers, not him.

In his GoFundMe he gets more specific:

I have a condition called Micropenis which causes me to be only 0.38 inches, which has made everyday tasks like using the restroom without making a mess is extremely difficult for me. Because of this, my doctor has advised that I must use pull ups unless I can pursue a medical procedure to help increase the size and improve my ability to urinate.

So it does sound like a physical issue getting the pee into the toilet, not general incontience.

I wonder if he’s tried pee funnels. They allow women to pee standing up. In fact, given how women all manage peeing I am surprised that his doctor says his only option is to wear diapers. Can he not sit and pee and make that work? Perhaps not. Inquiring minds want to know.

I’ve heard stories from ladies that made my eyes water. Guys they liked and decided to get physical with only to discover they were working with something roughly the size of their own clitoris. It really is an immediate dealbreaker much of the time, and you can’t blame them for wanting a functional sex life. Poor dudes really got worked by chance. I can’t even figure out how evolution has left this a possibility.
