(god this is awkward) Yeah I never even considered this. Coming from a Jewish family, obviously this never even came up. But yeah, it's obviously important to stick with your traditions when it concerns something so private. Blowing it up into a moralistic outrage is absurd.

There was a famous case where a boy wasn't circumcised & he got an infection so the mom took him to get circumcised as a baby & the Dr. botched it and removed his whole penis. They tried to raise him as a girl & just not tell him. Read the book in college https://www.amazon.com/As-Nature-Made-Him-Raised-ebook/dp/B00AXXUB2G …

But the same point applies. Because they didn't know how to deal with the infections it caused problems.

I read about this. Makes me wince that surgeons still manage to occasionally screw up a 5,000 year old procedure that rabbis manage with simple tools. Thankfully plastic surgery has come quite a long way since.

In this specific case it was that the Dr., for no justifiable reason, decided to use a cauterizing machine rather than a knife to perform the procedure and basically melted off a less than a year old boy's penis with a machine that had never been used for that procedure before.

Yeah it makes no sense. Even when reading the book it's totally confusing. Almost as if it was intentional. I don't know how the Dr. didn't outright lose his medical license.

The “benefits” are BS. Most European and Asian men are not cut, but they have the lowest rates of every problem that circumcision is claimed to prevent. Even if the benefits were real, it doesn’t justify torturing a baby. Watch “elephant in the hospital” on YouTube for more info.

Replying to @CMiconius @GameChangerDOC and
Religion doesn’t justify destroying a baby’s penis. FGM done on young girls is also done for religious reasons. Only adults should decide that for their own body.

Oh shut the fuck up. It's not "torture" and last time I checked my penis works quite well thank you; it's not "destroyed."

Have you seen a video of circumcision? If an adult did the same that to another adult they would get 20+ years in prison. I was circumcised, but I’m not so worked up about defending my penis that I will sit back and let people defend hurting a baby.
