Yeah I was super into it for a bit until I realized it was mostly yet another vehicle for anti-Semitic and Islamophobic stupidity.

No, it’s not. People are so upset about it because it personally affected them.
The majority of American boys are circumcised:

If anything Jews in America tend to be more liberal/lefty than Christians.
The circumcision rate in Israel is unknown but decreasing: https://forward.com/news/israel/391496/circumcision-rates-are-slipping-even-in-israel

Islamic circumcision does not have strict rules, the preferred age is 7 days or 7 years old or in puberty.
That can be done with consent, and local anesthesia which is usually not given to babies.

Circumcision is only a tiny part of it, but religious reform and modernization can improve millions of lives.

Nah, again, it’s mostly white men who want to feel like victims. I am against circumcision but I’m hardly an INTACTIVIST
I’ve never encountered another human being where I thought them wanting to feel like a victim could be a reasonable explanation for any of their behavior.
Some people want to play the victim, but that is completely different.
I agree with that but denying that a huge portion of the interest comes from anti-Muslim anti-Jewish sentiment is just ridiculous.
As with most things, you can see the contradiction by looking at a related phenonemon, and gauging the amount of public outrage about that. Are people outraged about girls having their ears unconsentingly pierced by their parents?
I’m not going to stop fighting for human rights just because some people suck.
Nor should you but the INTACTIVISTS are literally a bunch of white men pretending that they’re getting clipped by the MATRIARCHY
