    When you are investigating autism but you’re conservative: have we considered children’s genitals?

    What does this little boy’s Ja Rule have to say about this?

    We don’t circumcise in the Netherlands. And we don’t have Tylenol. We do have other brands though. So we don’t have autism in the Netherlands, except for Jewish men. Guess I don’t have autism anymore hahaha

    I’m uncircumcised and I was never diagnosed with autism!

    Never mind that I would throw a fit as a child if my pancakes weren’t cut into a grid AND THEN reassembled into their circular shape.

    My mom (who doesn’t like to go to restaurants because being waited on stresses her out) was also never diagnosed with autism!

    Because diagnoses equal incidence rate, right?

    I wonder what other correlations might go with circumcision…

    “There are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism,” Kennedy said Oct. 9 at President Donald Trump’s Cabinet meeting. “It’s highly likely because they’re given Tylenol.”

    I fear dumbasses are still going to circumcise their baby boys and will just not give them any pain reliever

      So… the circumcision has NOTHING to do with it!

      They are STILL claiming the pill taken orally is the problem.

      They just added “circumcision” for click bait.

      Do you mean Donald j Trump, current president of the United States, raped children? Along with his, self admitted, best friend Jeffrey r Epstein?

    So the Christian God of the old testament caused autism by being infatuated with dick tips. Oh the Christian Nationalist are going to lose their shit over this.

      It’s a myth that circumcision is a Christian practice. Early Christians debated keeping the covenant, but since they were a proselytizing faith, cutting on your dick is a hard sell and they decided it wasn’t necessary.

      The actual origin is 19th Century lunatics who thought masturbation caused disease. These were more health nuts than arch conservatives. Most were vegan, and some even feminist. But they promoted circumcision among boys and girls to prevent masturbation. This is why the practice is American but not European.

      There’s female “circumcision”, although very rare in the west due to it usually happens without consent of the recipient, so it became a hot topic through alarmism that left out this little detail, which lead to some of the worst arguments against it being used against gender affirming surgeries.
