      Hi. @NSPCC Why does your website cover FGM but not male MGM (unnecessary circumcision?) Surely putting a knife anywear near there for non medical reasons is child abuse regardless of either sex? Im not ranting. I pay £6 a month and feel children are born whole. Why not you too?pic.twitter.com/pBLKoFcTLb

      Hello. FGM is illegal and a form of child abuse. The evidence on MGM isn’t strong enough to suggest that male circumcision should be considered a form of child abuse, when considering the physical, religious and social implications. 1/2

      As a child, I didn’t know what it was until I was about 11 and then we studied Judaism. I remember going home telling my parents and said I thought it was wrong and they both agreed “Yes it is but there is nothing we can do about it unfortunately”. 2019 & pleased we have a voice!
