How about not mutilating your kid's genitals? How about just not doing that?
Actual genital mutilation has no known health benefits. Circumcision lowers the risk of several things occurring. https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/circumcision/about/pac-20393550 …

do you have any scientific sources? like research from the AMAhttps://journalofethics.ama-assn.org/article/nontherapeutic-circumcision-minors-ethically-problematic-form-iatrogenic-injury/2017-08 …

You're right, we should perform infant mastectomies to prevent breast cancer too. Why teach a kid to wash his penis when hacking a piece of it off works just as well? More than a hundred kids die in the US every year due to what is essentially unnecessary cosmetic surgery

You don't get to KILL part of someone and then claim they are "healthier". We need a CIRCUMCISION BAN and MASSIVE government funding for tissue regeneration to regenerate our foreskins & make our bodies whole again. Watch my channel trailer in my Twitter bio where I explain how.

Coming on like a ton of bricks is not usually an effective way to influence someone new to this topic to research more deeply and question their previous assumptions. Most likely you'll be dismissed out of hand.

That's why I dangle the prospect of tissue regeneration immediately upon making first contact.

Not likely to appeal to someone who doesn't yet see circumcision as a problem (or even to many who do).

Yeah buddy, I think you came on a little full bore there... I mean I was a bit of a dick, totally put my hands up to that. But I think you might want to pump the breaks a little.

It also has risks and harms, though. The male foreskin is sexual anatomy. Unless there's a medical necessity people should be allowed to decide for their own body. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ceht-3xu84I …

Is that the difference b/t “circumcision” and “mutilation?” “Lowering the risk of something?” Seriously, does the permissibility of an act hinge on the outcome of some “study?” Would you start advocating for
