    There are effective, non-invasive ways to prevent and treat rare genital problems in boys and men. Surgery on a child is unethical and inappropriate when effective, non-invasive alternatives exist like there are with male genital cutting.

    The standard of care for pediatric surgery requires the medical benefits of the surgery to far outweigh the medical risks and harms or for the surgery to correct a congenital abnormality. Cutting off part of a boy's penis does not even come close to meeting this standard of care!

    How on earth can you cut off a highly erogenous part of a male's penis and not affect sensation? That is like saying if you cut off a person's index finger there is no differences in hand sensation.

    If you like my film I highly recommend this YouTube channel by someone who has been filming activists involved in the debate for over a decade.

    The so-called "medical benefits" of male genital cutting can be achieved without surgery. There are effective, non-invasive ways to prevent and treat rare genital problems in men and boys. Genital cutting is unnecessary for good health!

    Cutting of a functional and highly erogenous part of a baby boy's penis is unnecessary because genital problems in boys are rare and there are effective, non-surgical ways to prevent and treat those rare problems.

    The so-called "health benefits" of male genital cutting can be achieved without surgery. There are effective, non-invasive ways to prevent and treat rare genital problems in men and boys. Cutting off a normal, healthy, erogenous part of a boy's penis is unnecessary!

    Don't like labiaplasty? Don't get it done, but don't bash other parents for their choice to do it to their daughters. Unnecessary surgery should be a decision an adult makes for his or her own body, not a decision parents make for their sons or daughters.

    The Bay Area Reporter has a good article on last Saturday's demonstration at the Ferry Building.

    Do you realize you can now start a conversation with people about circumcision by saying "hey, have you seen that new documentary on ?"
