In German, circumcision is called die Beschneidung (the trimming), like you would prune a plant. 🪴😠
If you cluster the same letters a little differently, you get Diebe Schneidung, or thieves cutting. Because that’s what circumcisers of healthy minors are: thieves for ✡️☪️ or💰
Parents deserve time, transparency, and complete information when it comes to irreversible choices like circumcision on their child. Say no to circumcision.
All the criticism from NPR, CNN and CBS is focused on undermining Nick Shirley's credibility, but the fact remains that he is a journalist in the old-school tradition:
He goes to where the story is (which is often dangerous); he asks questions; he records and he reports the answers.
Traditionally, journalism was a blue-collar job that didn't require formal education and fancy pedigrees. The job involved long hours, low pay, and direct engagement with everyday people and events, attracting working class individuals that would pound the pavement for scoops and cover local beats like crime or corruption or labor disputes.
Sound familiar?
Yeah, it sounds like what @nickshirleyy did to bring you that video on Somali daycare centers in Minnesota.
The legacy media seems motivated to not do their job - which isn't just to investigate but also to sell the story to the American public. This is what they failed at presumably because they didn't like the implications. Instead, these pretentious twats are training their focus and energy on discrediting Nick.
Journalism has over the years become an impenetrable caste dominated by upper-middle-class or trust fund kids who graduated from elite institutions with powerful social connections. These days, it's a white collar job that attracts more intellectual academic types who live and work in fancy buildings in prestigious cities.
This is why all the critiques and hit pieces from the credentialed journos emphasize Shirley's outsider status, labeling him a "YouTuber" or "MAGA journalist" rather than a peer, and contrasting his shock-value, prankish style with "good investigative journalism" which is of course what *they* do.
They can't help themselves but gatekeep their profession, dismissing self-made creators like Shirley as lacking legitimacy, even when his work sparks real probes or highlights underreported stories. Not only are they reluctant to pursue the truth (since it clashes with a narrative they so badly want to believe), they're also lashing out because it's a huge threat to their ego and authority.
The elite snobbery couldn't be more obvious.
@BloodstainedMen Could men demand this from their women?
What woukd our society think of such men?
We live in a society of double-standards where women can make demands for a mutilated penis, but men balking at fat and small breasts is "body shaming."

@BloodstainedMen A plastic doll could have done the job better... that's all this child is to them... an accessory...
"Christmas #Circumcision" is an oxymoron as circumcision completely negates Christ as their savior...
❝I'm in nursing school. I attended two newborn circumcisions. It was the most brutal, horrifying thing I have ever seen. As they ripped apart this 18-hour-old infant's penis, he screamed to the point of hyperventilation. Until he suddenly stopped screaming and just laid there. Defeated. Withdrawn. In complete shock. Heartbreaking does not begin to describe this. Afterwards, the doctor just threw the foreskins into the sharps container on the wall, as if it were trash. The glans of the penis was then swollen, purple, and raw. Both babies had to be cauterized with silver nitrate because the incision was bleeding. I will spend my entire career telling every mom I meet the brutal truth about circumcision.❞
Americans have been subject to a long-term propaganda campaign to demonize the normal penis.
It even extends to our entertainment.

They didn’t take everything.
Just a piece.
A piece of autonomy.
A piece of choice.
A piece of someone who hadn’t even learned the word consent yet.
That missing puzzle piece isn’t abstract, it’s permanent. It’s carried silently into adulthood, where questions surface too late and answers come with grief instead of choice.
No infant agrees.
No baby understands.
And no tradition outweighs a child’s right to their own body.
When we remove consent, we don’t just change a body, we change a life.
Circumcision decisions echo for life.
Let the next generation be whole.
Let them decide for themselves.

@MrBang21@dagzballix@lporiginalg Around 10% of circumcized boys and men suffer from meatal stenosis which may require further cuts (the underside of the glans is sliced). Google that ("meatotony"). It's barbaric.
Every girl is born with all of her eggs, meaning that you existed in your mother’s body when she was inside your grandmother’s.
It’s incredible how connected we are.
