@bettyabominable I don't think either of us are likely to change the other's mind though, so I suggest we agree to disagree.

[Circumcision Info @Circinfos]

@bettyabominable You made the wrong choice and I look forward to the day when the choice is legally reserved for the boy.

[Circumcision Info @Circinfos]

@bettyabominable If he wanted it done, he can do it later.

[Circumcision Info @Circinfos]

@bettyabominable I'm saying that there's no reason to have risked it. The decision to remove the foreskin doesn't need to be made by parents

[Circumcision Info @Circinfos]

@bettyabominable I'm not saying he won't think it feels great. If he didn't die and he develops an okay mind, he can life a fine life.

[Circumcision Info @Circinfos]

@bettyabominable The foreskin has more nerves than the head. You removed most of the feeling without removing all of the function.

[Circumcision Info @Circinfos]

@bettyabominable I'm someone looking at reason to say that when you allow your son to be mutilated, you have failed him.

[Circumcision Info @Circinfos]

@bettyabominable The choice of whether or not to irrevocably modify his genitals to be less functional should have been his alone.

[Circumcision Info @Circinfos]

@bettyabominable If he grows up fine, that's great. However, as a mother you failed and endangered him through genital mutilation.

[Circumcision Info @Circinfos]

@bettyabominable No, no individual blamed circumcision. But the rates of domestic abuse are notably higher among the circumcised.

[Circumcision Info @Circinfos]

@bettyabominable Came up with it in The Lancet, a reputable journal of psychology. I get the bulk of information in scientific literature.

[Circumcision Info @Circinfos]

@bettyabominable The adult would feel pain, but wouldn't feel betrayal, fear, confusion, or have later psychological damage.

[Circumcision Info @Circinfos]

@bettyabominable It effects the mind moreso. The child doesn't understand why his penis is being mutilated.

[Circumcision Info @Circinfos]

@bettyabominable No, no accessible memory is formed, but that doesn't mean it has no memory whatever. It still effects the mans mind.

[Circumcision Info @Circinfos]

@bettyabominable Yep, he can still pee. You didn't damage his urethra. You damaged his sexual nervous tissue. He can't feel sex so well now.

[Circumcision Info @Circinfos]

@bettyabominable Leading to things like increased domestic abuse, depression, sexual dysfunction, and other issues.

[Circumcision Info @Circinfos]

@bettyabominable They don't form a memory like an adult would, but they still form a base line memory of their genital mutilation.

[Circumcision Info @Circinfos]

@bettyabominable Actually a paper in The Lancet has demonstrated that infants do remember. It forms the base of their psychology.

[Circumcision Info @Circinfos]

@bettyabominable Look at your babies poor mutilated genitals. Do they look like they did before? No, and they don't work as well either.

[Circumcision Info @Circinfos]

@bettyabominable Circumcision is mutilation, and something like 200 babies die yearly. Not to mention disfigurement/nerve harms.
