Circumcision- The truth 🧵
#CircumcisionMyth debunking:
“It prevents STIs”- By educating circumcised men on condom use to prevent HIV but not educating intact men on it, you get a biased result favoring the circumcised population. This is not valid.
The Catholic Church condemns Female Genital Mutilation as a human rights violation. But with routine infant Circumcision, the silence is deafening. If every child is created in God’s image, why are baby boys still subjected to genital mutilation? https://t.co/eUdKwMOoCK @Pontifex
Holy shit I got onto a thread about infant circumcision after I said it should be up to the parents and wow. It’s really creepy what people obsess about here so I’m done with that topic.
circumcised men have to grow a pair and protect their own sons. Circumcised men are desperate to believe that their loss and suffering did not harm them. The process of coming to grips with #circumcision & loss of foreskin is a painful realization.
@chefeztemporary@CrashingOutHard It shouldn’t be a cut man’s responsibility to take several years out of his life to regrow what he lost, and still be left with a scar line and no frenar band. The easiest, most logical, and most ethical choice is to ban child circumcision except for ultra-rare medical necessity.
Universal side effects of circumcision:
-Decreased sexual pleasure
-Thousands of severed nerve endings
-Loss of the male G-spot (frenular delta)
-Decreased/lost skin mobility
-Inability to produce/retain lubricant
-Dryness and desensitization of what remains (glans, etc.)
@chefeztemporary@iHCJoseph I’m angry I was cut as an infant. It’s not a practice that should be in the parents’ hands, it should be the choice of the person who has to permanently live with the consequences of the surgery.
@Chef_EZToon That’s a #CircumcisionMyth that has been disproven.
Circumcision removes the ability to produce and retain natural lubricant. With no natural skin mobility/glide, pleasure is severely reduced.

@Chef_EZToon False.
Circumcision does not prevent HIV or other infections, effects on UTIs are minimal, and there are many complications that are underreported.
Also, adult circumcision does not disrupt natural development, is easier to do without complications, and is done with consent.
@Chef_EZToon The glans is not the most sensitive part of the penis. My point is that circumcision ablates the most sensitive parts of the penis.
Circumcision does not prevent HIV.

@escapefrommelos Think circumcision of non-consenting children and infants is bad? Then tune in to @IntactGlobalinc's June 15 press conference from Denver, Colorado. We're filing lawsuits across the U.S. to get the practice declared unlawful.

The ruthless #circumcision doctors never ask themselves about the cumulative effect of sending home a nation of angry, wounded babies into the world, as if there could not possibly be consequences from the physical, psychological, and spiritual damage from this traumatic amputation.
There are endless reasons to oppose childhood genital cutting practices like circumcision. That's why I founded @IntactGlobalinc, a non-profit that's filing lawsuits across the U.S. to get childhood circumcision out of our hospitals.
We're filing our next lawsuit in Colorado, press conference on June 15.
