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”

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.

Speaking as "someone's" son, I don't personally care to have been circumcised without my

other surrogate approval or assent being of no validity or consequence. Your wholly unsupported & unsupportable comments about "medical advantage" prove nothing except your own reading comprehension deficiency. Most surgeries could be said to have some type of medical "advantage"

if you look hard enough for one. To "pretend there is no medical advantage" to castration is also a "lie" - it would eliminate testicular cancer as a cause of death. To determine whether a surgery or other procedure should be recommended requires weighing the advantages or...

by the articles I sent to you. Your suggestion that they are "fake news" is so patently false it would make
@realDonaldTrump proud. As for trauma, read this short, well-supported article https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/moral-landscapes/201109/myths-about-circumcision-you-likely-believe … & its medically accurate descriptions of: how much penis tissue is...1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes
lost to circumcision, how that tissue is removed, what type of anesthesia is effective (NONE), whether an MD will use ANY anesthesia (probably not, especially if an #OBGYN), complication rates & types of complications. #i2 #HisBodyHisChoice #AAP19 @AmerAcadPeds #tweetiatrician
