There are forms of female circumcision that are very similar to - even less invasive than - male circumcision. Often just a small nick as part of a religious ritual. That is what is most likely to occur in the US. And circumcision of males outside the Jewish religion was popularized by a doctor who was trying to combat the “problem” of masturbation in young males.

FTR I’m not a fan of circumcision of infants of either gender. Just pointing out that they aren’t that different, and as such this ruling is legally sound.

It is unbelievable to me they would allow this procedure in this country.
Female circumcision is to control the sexuality of the female. You are comparing apples and oranges.

Female genital mutilation is classified into four types:

Type I: Also known as clitoridectomy, this type consists of partial or total removal of the clitoris and/or its prepuce.
Type II: Also known as excision, the clitoris and labia minora are partially or totally removed, with or without excision of the labia majora.
Type III: The most severe form, it is also known as infibulation or pharaonic type. The procedure consists of narrowing the vaginal orifice with creation of a covering seal by cutting and appositioning the labia minora and/or labia majora, with or without removal of the clitoris. The appositioning of the wound edges consists of stitching or holding the cut areas together for a certain period of time (for example, girls’ legs are bound together), to create the covering seal. A small opening is left for urine and menstrual blood to escape. An infibulation must be opened either through penetrative sexual intercourse or surgery.
Type IV: This type consists of all other procedures to the genitalia of women for non-medical purposes, such as pricking, piercing, incising, scraping and cauterization.

No blatantly discriminatory remarks, this includes hate speech against certain races, religions, and sexual orientation. No attacking children: There is a limit to everything.


You don't really need to look too far past that to understand.

There is speech that says Islam is fantastic
Anything less than that is now Hate Speech.

Her admission was that she was either oblivious to, or alright with, discrimination of certain groups while not allowing discrimination against others.

Can you explain how her admission harms me?

I didn’t say it harmed you, I said it discredited your narrative. You pointed out that the wording of the rule appeared to allow discrimination against some groups and not others. Since that was not her intention, she thanked you for pointing it out and immediately corrected it. It was never fascism or some liberal conspiracy, just an oversight of awkward phrasing that was addressed right away.

Since her remedy was to further limit dialogue - not increase dialogue -

No.

USLegal
Hate Speech Law and Legal Definition


Hate speech is a communication that carries no meaning other than the expression of hatred for some group, especially in circumstances in which the communication is likely to provoke violence. It is an incitement to hatred primarily against a group of persons defined in terms of race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and the like. Hate speech can be any form of expression regarded as offensive to racial, ethnic and religious groups and other discrete minorities or to women.
