This aligns with recommendations from @AmerAcadPeds and @CDCgov: #Circumcision is up to the parents. (And the health benefits outweigh the risks.)https://twitter.com/AndrewYang/status/1108146755311407105 …

AAP said “the true incidence of complications after newborn
#circumcision is unknown.” How could it be known the benefits outweighed them?#i2 Is the ritual nick that is Type IV#FGM also "up to the parents"?

Replying to @cooney21 @PeterKilmarx and
While you're struggling to explain the "logic" of AAP
#circumcision policy & to decide your position on forcing Type IV#FGM on girls, consider your position on "breast ironing." Those who force it on girls no doubt think it has cultural significance.#i2 https://www.bbc.com/news/education-47695169 …1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

For someone who is unable to coherently answer even the most basic questions as to how
#circumcision on a child could be ethically justified, Peter Kilmarx has gotten way too free & easy with unsupported nonsense about the relationship of circumcision & HIV transmission#i2pic.twitter.com/w5OSW4BjA6

Just consider the tweet he was replying to. How was Kilmarx' reply supposed to help this man, infected w/#HIV post-#circumcision as SO MANY MEN ARE? As opposed to just being something Kilmarx felt the need to say, as if repeating it will somehow make it true? #i2 #MedEdpic.twitter.com/BeYEJfJhcD
