But who can be sure they didn’t undergo a sex change operation during nap time at child care? Connect the dot, sheeple! ---

> Minc’s apology offered no explanation as to why the daughter’s genitalia were included in the Dropbox in the first place. I think that’s all that anyone cares about here. What the fuck?! This is like taking responsibility for not properly locking the gorilla cage at a high school and letting them out.

> [@Just\_Asking\_Questions](#): > > Why would he even have a photo like that? I’m thinking it might be related to abuse allegations, showing a lack of injury or showing that what was reported as abuse was really a rash or something. That is really the only thing I can think of that is not “insane perverted abusive monster” which is probably the actual reason. ---

The allegation is that he broke her collarbone, so what a photo pf her genitals would have to do with that I can’t imagine. ---

I’ve whined about it before and I’ll whine about it again - the media (well, non-right-leaning) have to start hammering home editorially **THIS** situation with this Max Miller creep is what TDS actually kinda is. ---

To give him the benefit of the doubt, I don’t think it was a photo specifically of his daughter’s genitals; it was a naked photo of his daughter that _included_ her genitals. Why he’d have a naked photo of a 2 year old girl is beyond me. ---

> [@Running\_with\_Scissors](#): > > To give him the benefit of the doubt, I don’t think it was a photo specifically of his daughter’s genitals; it was a naked photo of his daughter that _included_ her genitals. Yeah, I was wondering if it was a bath photo. But those are typical when someone is a baby, not a 2-year-old. I made the mistake of looking up in Google what a standard cut-off age was for something like that, and not only did I not get a definitive answer but now I’m probably on a watchlist. ---

My parents had a couple of photos of my brother and me playing in the bath. I couldn’t have been much more than two. But that was also over fifty years ago.
