      Surprisingly, that’s been true for me. When I talk to men who are “fine” with being cut, I learn they either never thought about it or haven’t looked deeply into it. Some of them say outlandish things like assuming all men in the world are cut.

      It’s not outlandish to assume people are like yourself. Some men may not think about it, and so it would be in your best interest to explain it to men who would be interested in the topic, but I give credit that most men understand there is loss of flesh and nerve

      It’s not just that but other details. I notice men who are “fine” with it also tend to think it’s smaller than it really is. One guy couldn’t believe it was 15 square inches. Another thought it was just an incision, not a removal.

      And again that all would say to me, if I cared about preserving the foreskin, I should find easy-to-digest ways to feed that info to the populous. The tactic of attacking the opposition doesn’t do much to prop up your points. Let your evidence speak for itself.

      The evidence is clear. Medically unnecessary surgery without patient consent is assault. This is a legal/medical norm, not something I made up.

      It’s not norm or we would ban it like we did FGM. Circumcision is normal.

      Your argument self-contradicts. It wouldn’t work before we banned FGM, which was also a norm in the US. https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/dec/02/fgm-happened-to-me-in-white-midwest-america …

      In the US, FGM was practiced more commonly during a very experimental medical era, and only to treat patients with “abnormal” sexual drive, not as a routine or ritual. It was moved away from for good reason. Now only practices in communities that come from countries who practice

      To be clear, #FGM is practiced in the US today & is no longer banned by federal statute. In 2010, @AmerAcadPeds said of Type IV #FGM: "the ritual nick ... is not physically harmful and is much less extensive than routine newborn male genital cutting." #i2 https://theconversation.com/unconstitutional-us-anti-fgm-law-exposes-hypocrisy-in-child-protection-109305https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/pediatrics/early/2010/04/26/peds.2010-0187.full.pdf …

      There is no federal ban, but there are plenty of state bans. FGM is practiced often illegally by immigrant communities almost exclusively. Type 4 includes cauterizing, incising, piercing, an abrasions in other manners, not just nicks. Quit being deceptive

      The fact is Type IV #FGM, objectively considered, is not as extensive or invasive or harmful as male #circumcision. Quit being disingenuous in order to CYA for mutilating your sons. #i2
