Can someone please explain the difference between female genital mutilation and circumcision?
Because it sure seems like in both cases baby genitals are being mutilated.
Yet one is illegal and condemned, but the other is legal and expected.

As a nurse I have also witnessed circumcision. It’s cruel. I’ve also seen a circumcision done with lidocaine block and it was much better. But I didn’t let them circumcise my son.

I have assisted on circumcisions where the baby falls asleep. It’s all about how it’s handled, how it’s done, And who is doing it.

The baby didn’t fall into a relaxing “sleep” - they passed out due to pain.

As you were not there and I was please shut up. And it happened on more than one occasion. If the child already asleep before anybody’s even touching them and they stay asleep while the person is doing the procedure then they’re asleep.

“Shut up”

Are you a child? I don’t have to have been here to understand that isn’t how sleep works. They were shut down and passed out.2 replies 0 retweets 17 likes -

To be fair Rielle is likely just regurgitating the lies doctors have told her. But they certainly know the babies are not just “falling asleep”. Anybody with common sense should know that really.

All of these “experts“ with their Google MD degrees are ridiculous. Medical experience is apparently no match for having a laptop.

Int'l medical consensus is against you. As the president of Germany's pediatric society has said: “there is no reason from a medical point of view to remove an intact foreskin from underage boys or boys unable to give consent” #i2 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/316527603_Cultural_bias_in_American_medicine_the_case_of_infant_male_circumcision …https://www.researchgate.net/publication/316527603_Cultural_bias_in_American_medicine_the_case_of_infant_male_circumcision …

Moreover, the belief that an infant is able to fall "asleep" while having skin, smooth muscle, nerves & blood vessels amputated from his penis isn't just without objective medical support. It's a preposterous myth, clung to by cutters to make themselves feel better.

I don’t personally care whether or not someone chooses circumcise their son. But to pretend there is no medical advantage to circumcision is a lie, as is the assumption that it is always traumatic.
