Circumcision turns a healthy child into a patient. Circumcision is a wound. How do you know? The hospital sends the baby home with instructions for wound care. Send him home healthy, like you would if he was a girl. #MedEd#i2#GenitalAutonomy#QuestionCircumcision@Brother_K_BSM
This little known chapter by Cameroonian philosopher Godfrey Tangwa is really a gem: “Circumcision - An African Point of View” - Godfrey B. Tangwa

“If we view a child’s foreskin as having a valid function, we are no more justified in amputating it than any other part of the child’s body unless the operation is medically required treatment and the least harmful way to provide that treatment.”

I am happy to announce that my wife is pregnant with a boy! He'll be intact, and we'll inform family/practitioners of proper intact care. Stopping the cycle of genital cutting and misinformation 🙂
@Curious_Bastard I was channeling an old Louis CK line in there and I hope you'll appreciate it with the humor with which it was intended. We are all subject to our biases. Peace and love.
@Curious_Bastard Anyone who believes in circumcision has never had a conversation with an American Doctor. Sad how humans all walks of life are so fully immersed in their own bullshit. No you of course. You're perfect.
@RevMillard I think we are having a misunderstanding. She is heartbroken. She is not in control of this situation but doing everything she can to help her grand-son.
@qw_jessie I go through cycles where I eat healthy, buy healthy for months and feel great, and then I go through the opposite where I eat crap and feel like crap. You'd think just eating better to feel better would work to motivate you to do it but it doesn't seem to work that way.
@YoSnapaka@harrisharry198@weponizedwomen I don't know who the mutants are you are talking about. I'm talking about history. Circumcision is an assault. Doctors have a responsibility that religious people do not necessarily have. Doctors are doing this to Americans. Doctors of all stripes.
@YoSnapaka@harrisharry198@weponizedwomen 80% of current American males were circumcised in their childhood without medical need or consent. Jews had little or nothing to do with this. They were used as a model minority to promote cleanliness by a people who were obsessed with denying people sexual pleasure.
@Modernist2020 Evangelical Christians have as much or more to do with this than anyone else. Jews were used as a model minority to promote 'cleanliness' in the late nineteenth century. It's shocking to even type it but that's what happened.
Her obstetrician told her that #circumcision wouldn't cause her #baby#pain. True or false? Here's Marilyn Milos' answer. https://t.co/0XletMv4pK

@DrScottHadland Maybe get your senator to act to stop the cutting of baby penis by doctors. Yeah. Good luck with that. Nothing will ever change if the people with the power to change it do nothing.
@DrScottHadland@polevaultpower Circumcision, Intersex Genital Modifications are commonplace in American surgery and are exactly on par with what you are arguing against.
