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.

Where are the peer reviewed studies of MRI scans performed on babies before and after they've had their genitals flayed to support your claim that paedo-circumcision isn't traumatic?

There are no such peer-reviewed studies, and the limited MRI-related evidence that does exist suggests that the trauma is severe. Because of course it is - the child is having his penis torn apart, often without any anesthetic, and never with adequate pain relief.

MRI evidence? Lol. They don't do MRIs on post circumcision penises. MRI is used for viewing the inside of the body, not the skin.

Dr Paul Tinari did an MRI study that showed that
#circumcision has a permanent, negative effect on the brain. https://circumcision.org/circumcision-permanently-alters-the-brain/ … He wasn't allowed to publish only because "any attempt to study the adverse effects of circumcision was strictly prohibited."#i2#AAP192 replies 0 retweets 5 likes -

I met the small band of people behind this ridiculous website in
#Chicago at#AAP17. We have them on video chanting "My Body My Choice." It was a Freudian slip that tells you everything you need to know about their complete lack of both intelligence and#ethics.#i21 reply 0 retweets 6 likes -

From THEIR article: "The author of this study, Dr. Paul Tinari, claims that he was forcefully circumcised by a Catholic priest and a Jewish mohel for masturbating. I don’t doubt that he was abused by his caretakers ..." Thanks for admitting the obvious:

The "point" about Canadian bias is bizarre. Regardless of what the #circumcision rate is in Canada, or whether insurance pays for it there, the fact is there are many Canadian doctors who have circumcised children who are therefore desperate to avoid proof that it is traumatic.

Same for the "point" about deleted records. If they're damning, are we really to believe that doctors and hospital administrators wouldn't have destroyed them to

Replying to @cooney21 @blue_wave_unite and
Here's the main point: if cutters are so confident that an
#MRI brain scan of a circumcised child won't show trauma, why not just repeat the experiment to prove their point? After all, isn't that what#science is all about? They're terrified that@DrTinari would be proven right.2 replies 0 retweets 4 likes - 4 more replies
