All children are born with the same human rights. Those rights must be protected. Non-therapeutic genital cutting without their consent violates those rights.

    In the years since I learned that circumcision is a thing, people who express shock and/or mockery that people are upset about it baffle me. “Someone cut part of me off. I hate that.” “Haha, you’re a fragile loser! Grow up!” How does anyone get to a place of so little empathy?

        I think it mostly reflects our cultural (mis)understanding of the foreskin. We need to legitimize it as the normal, functioning body part it is. That requires overcoming anatomical-equivalence ignorance. I suspect most people believe male anatomy appears distinct from conception.

        We can get to the ethical principle even if no anatomical (i.e. a prepuce is a prepuce) equivalence existed. We all have genitals. We all have bodies. Who do they belong to? From what point? But the male foreskin is normal. It isn’t vestigial. We need to educate on that.

        i think you only hear such comments from people who are in denial about what was done to them.

        Or the people who chose to have it done to their children.

        I agree. I think I’m pondering more about the personality type that responds this way, so we can figure out how to react to these tactics? “Jerk” seems too easy and unhelpful. (It might be the answer.) I think responding like-for-like, which is what I’ve seen, is unproductive.

        I've probably done it at some point, although I try to be polite. I'd rather engage with someone, than get blocked off the bat.

        I agree. When I responded to Dr London, I assumed I’d get blocked. But that wasn’t a freebie to be an ass. I’m not convincing her. But maybe I can convince not-as-invested observers. That’s always my primary focus. Argue for them, and if it convinces who I’m talking to, bonus!

        She didn't block me, but she re-tweeted something I said that she thought was misogynistic, so she can't block me without losing those re-tweets, lol.

        I can’t get over how people can defend it so strongly. As a young mum in Aus I was gobsmacked anyone would even consider it.

        Same. When my sister-in-law was pregnant, the nurse went into an angry sales pitch for circumcision when she saw my SIL had marked “No” in the form. So many Americans are holding on to ignorance like it’s the most precious cultural possession.

        Maybe they try to refuse to admit that they made a serious mistake.

        That’s absolutely part of it. I think it’s baffling because I knew circumcision was wrong the moment I learned of it. It was so obvious. And I don’t think I’m special for realizing that.

        I despised my mutilation as child already, even before I officially knew all of it's disadvantages. It looked odd and unnatural. My parents wanted to ensure me that everything is OK, but I always knew that is not the case.
