That's the thing though, in Europe society vastly does NOT circumcise, these are countries with circumcision rates in the single digits, maybe in the teens.

It’s also Europe, where the holocaust happened, and they want to treat anything related to it with kid gloves. Collectively they agree they don’t want to do something that reeks of “anti-Semitism,” and groups are ready to decry it. A ban will never happen until that changes.

This is why we need more Jews and Muslims rising up to take a stand against circumcision. Spreading education and change from the inside (of religions) is incredibly valuable. The only thing standing in the way of age requirements/bans are powerful religious leaders..

That’s going to be difficult. I think we need to start by decrying it as a medical procedure, and then condemned as medicine. Once that happens, it will be isolated as mere culture. I think for this reason, religious groups fight to keep it “medical.” (E.g. “studies” etc.)

I’m referring to more of what’s happening in Europe. European doctors already decry the medical excuses for circ and the only thing truly stopping them from bans etc are religious groups. But if we’re referring to the US mostly, then yes that’s our biggest priority

I think the lynchpin preventing medical organizations in the rest of the world from condemning
#circumcision completely, in any case, is the pseudoscience supporting it as pseudo-medicine. As long as it “prevents HIV,” they can’t come out fully against it.#i2 -
You are going down a rabbit hole trying to debunk every medical claim of circumcision. Just keep the frame of reference and call them child rapists and genital mutilators.

Scandinavian society is different from the USA. Much more respectful of human rights. The law is following society there if there are bans. But I agree: don't count your chickens before they hatch.
