    Again, the WHO is not right on this. No one is defending FGC. Just challenging misleading and ultimately progress hampering myths. We should learn more about this. Racism drives the shouts of 'barbarism!' that MGC does not receive, despite similarity.

    I was very clearly warned by the intactivist community in 2009 not to circumcise my child when I commented on a YouTube video of circumcision. I listened, our son stayed whole, and I became an activist as well. Id seen a James Loewen video from the BSM

    I have an issue with medically unnecessary surgery on those unable to give informed consent. I don't think that's an unreasonable position.

    The United States is an outlier when it comes to how widespread the practice is, how strongly the medical community supports it, but even AAP stops short of recommending routine circumcisions for all male newborns

    😢So many horrible cases of botched circumcisions & ignorant doctors hurting boys during checkups just brushed aside. it needs to stop. Check out American Circumcision doc on netflix. Hard to watch at some points but glad it's getting the info out there

    I need to ask, WHY is a mother discussing the sexual preferences of her son’s girlfriends with them? What else would a girl tell them? “Your penis is so small.” 🙄

    Men prefer circumcised women in those countries where is common practice. Sick and disgusting that any parent would mutilate their child’s genitals for superficial idiots with a mutilation fetish.

    Commentary about both male and female circumcision with a fair amount of nuance that I wasn't aware of. Importantly, this conversation includes candidate CW graphic surgery

    It's worrying that the narrative in the mainstream and in work training (I work in the social services) is so strongly opposed to FGM but not male c, despite the same being true for both. I could never do it to any future child of mine knowing what I know now. Thank you both.

    Boys and men deserve the same rights and protections as girls. Equality is not that hard of a concept to understand.
