If I could kill this guy and get away with it, I would

[gwyn]

Everyone's justifiably outraged about the Onion's heinous attempt at a joke op-ed on rape, but guys, the thing that is making me much more sick today (seriously, I am so enraged I'm literally fighting to not throw up) is in ginmar's LJ, about a surgeon genitally mutilating young girls at Cornell University, and then molesting them with vibrators to follow up on the surgery. With their parents' dispensation. I can't even... I have no words. And even worse, I don't know if anything can or would be done -- the study Jezebel mentions was done in 2007. There's no information on this fuckwad being stopped.

I can't even... arg. I have to go focus on work and try to calm down. I hate people so much right now, especially men. And that's something I can't stand, but jesus. Jesus. This is just sick. I have this magnet that says "If they can put one man on the moon, why not all of them?" and right now I feel like that so much. It was too long to put in a tag, sadly.

I think that would be a most appropriate name change.

I also ran into a page of comments by parents whose kids had gone to various urologists. Interestingly, the parents of a number of boys with potential problems commented bout Dix Poppas, saying that he'd discussed circumcision with them and they'd decided against it. One pair of parents mentioned that their son had some sort of condition which was causing part of his foreskin to grow back. The parents were prepared for an operation--"but that wasn't necessary!"

Are you getting the feeling that Dix Poppas is not an equal opportunity circumciser?

Yep. I also notice that one of the articles you linked to included some comments that Cornell has a bad reputation in the intersex community about allowing a patient to grow up enough first to decide if they want to have their genitals operated on, and perhaps the parents just go along with the white coats.
