    If anyone came back to check for an answer to this, there kind of isn't one.

    A very professional and dedicated man answered my call to the state department for clarification on the new policies and he said this: "We don't know and we don't know when we will know. Follow your gut and do what you think is right, the worst that can happen is that the application gets rejected"

    Sec. 6. Bill Text. Within 30 days of the date of this order, the Assistant to the President for Legislative Affairs shall present to the President proposed bill text to codify the definitions in this order.

    Sec. 7. Agency Implementation and Reporting. (a) Within 120 days of the date of this order, each agency head shall submit an update on implementation of this order to the President, through the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. That update shall address:

    (i) changes to agency documents, including regulations, guidance, forms, and communications, made to comply with this order; and

    (ii) agency-imposed requirements on federally funded entities, including contractors, to achieve the policy of this order.

    Does this mean I still have time to apply for a passport or am I fucked? All of my other identifying documents are in order.

    What the fuck? I wanna throw hands how the fuck could someone allow themselves to talk to another human being like that? Let alone someone who is tasked with talking vulnerable people through their struggles? Its their fucking JOB.

    I thought I had some bad therapists but this one sounds like an interrogator that got lost. A good therapist can do wonders and I'm so sorry you were put through that.

    It's still pretty common over there, around 60%-55% of AMAB babies are circumcised. Aside from cosmetic and cultural factors, a lot of people get sold on the idea that it has benefits to hygene and overall health outcomes. These aren't good reasons of course, and the boons it provides are mostly marginal, not enough to justify inflicting that on an infant.

    That being said, there is significant evidence that circumcision lowers the probability of HIV transmission and as such it may be beneficial for adults to undergo the procedure voluntarily in regions with high infection rates.
