Elective, life altering surgical and chemical mutilation of children, because of arbitrary adult notions about sex, is rather obscene. Calling it,

Worthy Philosophical Question: Is obscenity experienced anywhere but in thought?

How childish.
AI has plenty to say about it.
Don't you believe the AI that apes my answer?
Go on, ask AI those worthy questions, as is.
