Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited

Rule 2: No Forbidden PostsSome things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

I don't think there's any major health effects from circumcision if done in a hospital by medical professionals

You would be wrong. Extreme pain has been shown to cause psychological trauma as well as lasting brain damage.

Cutting into the foreskin of someone who literally can't have developed any kind of pain tolerance (or even understanding of what pain IS and whether or not it's transitory) without any anaesthetization DEFINITELY qualifies.

Please don't take this the wrong way, I'd greatly appreciate a source on this. I'm extremely open to having my mind changed if it is indeed causing extreme pain that leads to psychological trauma.

Here's a study from the US NIH (from before Trump, JFK Jr, and Elon Musk attacked it with a chainsaw, a sledgehammer, and napalm)

Here's an article from Psychology Today

And lastly, a study from Journal of Applied Nursing and Health

Will that do?

Username checks out!

there are theories that such intense pain leads to being neurodiverse.

I have my skepticism, but I imagine having severe pain, getting one of the most sensitive parts of the body diced, just as soon as you are born, is likely not good for mental development.
