Now that you say it, we need awareness about MALE genital mutilation too. All these baby boys pinned down and bloodied while their weenies are cut. Barbaric and traumatizing. Reject circumcision!!https://twitter.com/ACTBrigitte/status/1065291398688186369 …

I was the first Ob/Gyn at Northside Hopsital in Atlanta to use EMLA numbing cream on the boys before circumcision (as I could not stand to see their obvious torture). It soon became hospital policy as the nurses saw the babies sleeping through it (being numb and all).

Stop your arrogant lying. EMLA does NOT entirely block an infant's circumcision pain. It isn't even the most effective pain relief method, NONE of which are fully effective. No child has EVER slept through his circumcision. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9521971

Finally, & FWIW, I've also witnessed a circumcision in which EMLA cream was used & the boy still screamed like I've never heard a human being scream before or since. So I'm not just relying on the objective medical evidence when I call BS on Ladd.pic.twitter.com/TuOoNbpY96
