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 …1 reply 1 retweet 1 like -

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.#i21 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

You’re the one who is disengenous! Or maybe just ignorant...Type 4 is more than just a nick! It’s anything uncategorizable by type 1, 2, & 3! It is designed to harm but you wish to give it a pass because circumcision is performed carefully in the US? Hypocrite!pic.twitter.com/wNM0otn4Wk

Read the following slowly so you'll understand: I am opposed to Type IV
#FGM and all child genital cutting. You say you're opposed to Type IV#FGM, but that only shows the complete hypocrisy of your support for forcing male#circumcision on healthy boys.#i21 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
Replying to @cooney21 @KyleChenIntact and
No it doesn’t. I don’t propose at all that we cut and scar a boys urethra, testicles, use acid or other home brewed corrosives, pierce or prick the dick, or otherwise maim the genitals. Circumcision accomplishes none of that.

You propose that half the surface area of the penis is removed, scarring the penis for life. That's actually worse than if you were to "pierce or prick the dick."
