I know you feel strongly about it and want to spread your experiences to keep others from facing the same regrets. I don’t minimize your feelings about it. I just know that not every man feels the same way and for many circ remains a cultural, economical, and aesthetic choice

If an American man thinks being circumcised is that important to his cultural identity, he can do it as an adult. Doing it to an infant, who cannot consent, is a violation of the fundamental right to bodily autonomy.

I control my children’s bodies all the time in an attempt to shepherd them to what I believe to be a state of well being. I control their diets, their exposure to disease, what they wear, and exposure to risky behavior like extreme sport and their hygiene. It’s a parent’s job

Parental rights have limits. Genital mutilation isn't a right. I don't have the right to alter a baby girl's genitalia. Boy's have human rights as well.

If it were shown that there was a good reason to do it, we likely would. But there ain’t, so we don’t. Not equal.

The evidence hasn't convinced any major medical organization to recommend routine infant circumcision. In Europe statistically it is only required in 1 of 16,000 men. Both men and women have a basic human right to have their bodily integrity protected.

Don't worry, there's lots of my questions she hasn't answered yet, either. I'm just not sure whether she hasn't seen them, or doesn't want to answer them honestly.

Particularly any & all questions about Type IV #FGM.

Yes. It's not unusual, but whenever I flip her argument to ask if that same reasoning would justify FGM, all of a sudden it seems she doesn't have an answer.
