2 You don't actually think #circumcision is a "traditional" American practice. I think even you now realize that is among your more ridiculous statements, which is really saying something. #i2

3 You don't actually have a principled objection to what you call "gotcha" tactics or "technicalities." You'd back up another cutter mother who wanted to cut her 17 y.o. son, & it doesn't get more "gotcha" than "I can cut you b/c your birthday is tomorrow & not today"

Lol k so all those tweets for a presumption that is wrong - no, I don’t support circ past certain age absent
need. The benefits of circ are greatly reduced past certain life periods. This is known by doctors and is why late-circs are only performed on at-risk populations.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

So are you changing your position? What's the "certain age"?

I didn't ask when you thought it was "best." I asked up until what age should it be permissible to force
#circumcision on a child- or as you put it, when parents no longer "retain the rights to their child." Your answer is the age of consent (18).#i21 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

So all 3 of my points apply to you & aren't based on a "wrong presumption," but on your own statements.

There is no wrong age if there is a medical call for it, so I do not and will not cap it. Late circs are rare but sometimes necessary.

We're not talking about medically necessary circumcision, we're talking about forcing it on a child w/out medical need. It's clear you're embarrassed by your answer & the implications of it, but that doesn't mean you get to change the question.

If you are talking about elected circumcision I believe the responsible practice is to do for neonates.

I didn't ask whether circumcising a neonate is "responsible." My question - no matter how many ways you try to distort & evade it - was until what age should it be permissible to force #circumcision on a child, i.e., when parents no longer "retain the rights to their child." 18?
