MonteCristo [he/him,any]

Thank you for the recommendation, it’s on my reading list now.

Yeah, I can’t imagine how extra brutal that is in a country where you pay for healthcare. Jesus.

I meant with regards to intersex “correction” surgery. I think everyone knows how common circumcision is.

Just finished reading this. Like others have said a lot of the Marxist stuff won’t be anything new to anyone on this site, but as a cishet man the “portraits” of the different lgbt+ perspectives really stuck out to me. I could read hundreds of pages of different voices talking about their lives and the oppression they faced. They were inspiring and heartbreaking and really helped me empathize better with the struggles lgbtq+ people deal with. Wish there were more of them in the book.

Also the chapter on intersex people really fucked me up and pissed me off. I wasn’t aware of how common genital mutilation was performed on newborns, wtf.
