I think you may be taking the criticism at your religion and not the people.

Judaism is in a fun boat where it’s ethnicity and culture, so I say this next statement while knowing the above l:

People don’t dislike the Jewish faith for circumcision. They dislike Jewish people who adhere to nonsensical and harmful traditions. Someone’s religion holds no bearing to me as far as the denomination itself, it’s what they choose to carry forward. I had Muslim friends in college who I’d get into disagreements with, because some of them genuinely believed some backwards shit about women. Some didn’t, and I was closer with those that didn’t. I don’t dislike those people who thought differently than me, but I did like them less, if only because they were letting their culture/tradition get in the way of facts and modern sensibilities.

You can continue to practice whatever fundamentalist beliefs you choose, know that people are often judging the act and not the religion as a whole, at least, that’s been the case when I’ve dived deeper with people who express it.

Genital mutilation is genital mutilation. You can say you do it for cultural reasons, but the response from those that disagree with it’s existence have nothing to do with your culture and everything to do with the barbarity of the medically unnecessary cosmetic genital surgery.

Yeah, maybe it’s the day, but Lemmy-sorted-by-Hot has had a lot of bloodthirsty comments lately that go just a step farther than I’m used to seeing

Why are we advocating that a murderer (i don’t need the court to confirm that part, but they will) have his family’s names revealed? I can’t do anything about my child rapist cousin, he’s in jail already and it’s not like anyone besides his parents even really knew, but putting MY name out there, as a trans woman, would get me killed.
