“The court did what it agreed to do: arbitrate the dispute regarding the contract, and in that, it may have technically been in the right.

Perhaps we should begin demanding evidence of such things. Perhaps we should begin demanding these sorts of things not be left up to the arbitrary preferences of parents, but, unless medically necessary, leave children intact until they’re old enough to make their own informed decisions about what modifications they want done to their bodies.

My body, my choice. His body, his choice.”
