People believing that masses of children are literally getting surgery, circumcision notwithstanding, is a result of a persistent campaign to cause panic.

And it's the same hucksters selling fear to the same religious reactionaries. New day, new apocalyptic scapegoat.

1. Nobody claims it's not happening at all, that's you moving the goalpost.

2. You're kinda proving my point; the Daily Mail is one of the sensationalist tabloids that were flogging the Satanic Panic bullshit back in the day.

Show me the lies in the article instead of attacking the publisher. Bad faith argument.
