Betamethasone cream, tissue expansion, or preputioplasty. Preputioplasty is a geometrical question, and a big enough axial slit is guaranteed to cure the phimosis. The principle of proportionality of treatment makes circumcision unacceptable in such a case.

Nice, but the original recommended circumcision in cases of recurring infection, and the second recommended it in cases of scarring, so my point still stands. In those cases we would have to go back and circumcise you, but it would be banned- so your dick would drop off.

I'm not saying it's impossible for a circumstance to occur where it could be an option, but it should be treated like cutting off an arm: an extreme solution to extreme problems when every other option has failed. Such would be absurdly rare. Routine circumcision is abhorrent

Only 77% of U.S. men are circumcised. It isn’t routine. It has multiple detailed, legitimate medical uses. So tell me if it fits the definition of mutilation? I’m still looking to have my mind changed here.

Amputation of normal functional tissue is mutilation. That's why amputation is considered a last resort for treatment in general. Sometimes in extenuating circumstances it's required to "mutilate" the body to prevent even greater damage or death.

The point here is... The vast majority of American circumcisions are for no medical reason whatsoever. And the vast majority of circumcisions that ARE for a medical reason are for a reason that's invalid (preventing STDs), or a reason that can be cured with less invasive means.

No. Circumcision was recommended in your medical paper as being for recurring infection or where tissue scarring occurs.

These are the uses (excuses) that doctors have come up with for it in modern times. It's not the reason why it was originally prescribed in america, it's not the reason why it was prescribed in religion. Those were both about damaging sexual function:pic.twitter.com/SD11hqaBWR

Just imagine being one of these doctors when the sexual revolution of the past century hit. They made their careers on damaging kids sexually, and now suddenly that's a bad thing? They've been scrambling to justify it ever since, so people won't sue or try to get revenge or w/e
