Circumcision Choice

Promoting parental choice and informed consent from healthcare professionals while fighting against misinformation & bullying

It’s been a long time off Twitter for us. This movie review warrants a tweet #circumcision https://t.co/aDJH3BKVNC

#circumcision can help prevent urinary tract infection in male infants, it’s a real benefit despite claims of #intactivism https://t.co/eCDpTyoZl7

Protection from penile cancer is one, granted small, but not insignificant benefit of #circumcision as this story highlights. https://t.co/ftgbRsh0fi

#intactivism is a cult of mentally ill #foreskin worshipers. #circumcision is beneficial with small risks. Get the facts, not propaganda! https://t.co/YpD8ygakWC

This is more evidence that #intactivism has broken the internet when it comes to #circumcision. 🤯 Polling usually shows more uncircumcised men wish they were circumcised than the other way around. https://t.co/QPDa8ChnSF

#Intactivists claim #circumcision is cause for mental illness and even suicide. The sad truth is that #intactivism itself is the cause of mental illness in many adherents. It promotes resentment, hate, and unnecessary insecurities about body image. https://t.co/5vDaZxMuID https://t.co/0HKvkhmrNR

It might be true that an increasing number of men are being convinced they are broken, inferior, or mutilated when their own #circumcision has, in reality, never been the problem. #TheRealProblem = #intactivism

[Circumcision Choice @circchoice]

@CircumCrippled @KhazWolf @Foregen We are still waiting for the evidence that #circumcision is a “serious disability” with any significant frequency to anyone other than #intactivists

Great movie review for a movie I will definitely not watch! #circumcision #americancircumcision #intactivism #propaganda https://t.co/JtpEqe1K3P

@freelance_hippo It’s like #intactivism moves the goalposts in arguments whenever they claim something about #circumcision that is easily refuted... usually followed by demonizing the person they’re debating! Stereotypical for a number of years now! https://t.co/oQxE4LPKak

Children don’t consent to ear piercings, immunizations, appendectomies, etc., etc. Parents can consent after being informed of risks/benefits for routine medical or preventive health procedures, that’s how it works in every country on earth

[Circumcision Choice @circchoice]

#Intactivism makes misleading statements to further their anti-circumcision agenda. Many infectious problems in life are reduced by neonatal #circumcision, plus high vascularity/quick healing severely limits risk of postop circumcision infections! https://t.co/4s6j9Lq0ng

Unfortunately the extremes in the anti #circumcision #intactivism movement push people towards antisemitism with their fear-mongering and misinformation campaigns. Jews/Muslims in Denmark and Iceland are rightfully afraid. https://t.co/IiArw19Ri4

@CircumInfoDk Thanks! Good article.

[Circumcision Choice @circchoice]

@JamesArendt7 it is humorous that you and other like-minded #intactivists can read so much into the soul of those who disagree with your stance on #circumcision - We all must be sociopaths! 😂😂😂 https://t.co/DCZfDaORAS

[Circumcision Choice @circchoice]

Secular and religious reasons exist for #circumcision, they are not mutually exclusive. Get the facts - not the propaganda! https://t.co/79In52QNs8

[Circumcision Choice @circchoice]

@MgMinsanity Nice cherry-picked anecdotes you screen-shotted there!😉 ...nowhere close to meaningful data. Don’t have time to review them all, but they seem to prove little except that many people complain about all types of things on social media

[Circumcision Choice @circchoice]

#intactivists deny any statistics that prove they are wrong about #circumcision. We back up our statements.

Circumcision is a routine medical procedure, if you see someone mutilate a child call the police!

@KhazWolf @PDukemajian Khaz, I’d say we’re not going to agree... for many reasons. We’ll continue our fight against the demonization of parents and healthcare providers who choose #circumcision and continue to refute #intactivism misinformation. Good night

[Circumcision Choice @circchoice]

@IntactByDefault @KhazWolf @PDukemajian The AAP’s 2012 statement on #circumcision is just as valid to pediatric medicine today as it was in 2012. Belief that Friedman fundamentally changed it in 2016 is wishful thinking by #intactivism.

small benefits/small risk=parent choice

[Circumcision Choice @circchoice]

@KhazWolf @PDukemajian And that is where we differ in opinion. We are pro-child. We are pro-parent choice. They are not mutually exclusive unless you deny the reality of the vast majority of circumcised children and men as well as deny the proven (if small) health benefits.
