      Unless you do the ethical thing and let "everyone" decide for himself when old enough to give informed consent - as we do with all other cosmetic surgery. #i2

      It’s not just a cosmetic surgery, and the ethical thing to do is cut in infancy when risk is much lower and the skin has a chance to grow with the cut.

      Actually, it is just a cosmetic surgery with (according to every major medical association in the western world) no significant benefits: https://www.hindawi.com/journals/isrn/2013/109846/ … https://www.healio.com/infectious-disease/stds/news/online/%7Bee2769c4-b9b0-4daa-8eef-943c7205ed6c%7D/circumcised-men-at-twice-the-risk-for-cancer-causing-hpv-study-shows … https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/moral-landscapes/201109/more-circumcision-myths-you-may-believe-hygiene-and-stds …https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0201445 …

      No in fact I am not. American researchers try to find connections to justify circumcision but that research hasn't been replicated by any other Western medical society; these medical societies often declare American research on this topic to be filled with cultural bias (1)

      They don’t need to justify it. They may speculate what the numbers represent but evidence is just evidence and it’s proven that circ reduces STI.

      Uh, again your facts are not there; nearly every Western European medical association has declared circumcision unnecessary and NOT a preventative for STIs; your saying otherwise does not refute that.

      No they say the benefit is not significant enough to override the potential patient’s future rights, which I disagree with. The benefit of circ against STI is not an immunity shield, but it is a boost.

      It's not a "potential" patient's "future" rights that are at stake. It's an actual patient's current right to keep the healthy body he's born with - a right you can't disagree with w/out turning your opposition to #FGM into complete hypocrisy.

      Anyone equating FGM to circ and defending it is a hypocrite who doesn’t give an iota about bodily integrity. Smoke on that

      You know perfectly well that (1) I'm not "defending" #FGM, and (2) piercing or pricking genitalia as in Type IV #FGM is, by any objective assessment, not as extensive, invasive or harmful as male #circumcision, & so your opposition to Type IV #FGM shows YOUR hypocrisy.
