Who’s had their ear pierced as an infant/young child and how has that affected you regarding consent as you weren’t able to give it?

   Got mine done at like 3 months, maybe? Not sure, actually. Definitely pre-6 months.

   It has zero bearing on my concepts of consent. It’s a fairly traditional cultural thing that my parents had done by a doctor in a very safe environment. It’s caused me exactly zero pain, strife, or stress.

   I’m honestly so grateful that I never had to deal with taking care of them, and now I have the sweet perk of piercings that never close since they’re so well-healed.
