      The original description of the Covenant (Genesis 15 in the Jahwist text) had no reference to #circumcision. That story was revised only after the Babylonian Captivity (& moved to Genesis 17) by priests who thereafter pretended the circumcision reference had always been there.

      Then, 100s of years after the Baylonian Captivity, the rules of the Covenant were changed again to require the entire foreskin to be removed. Until then, only the small part of the foreskin that always overhangs the glans was deemed necessary to remove.

      Each of us can (& does) believe what he or she would like. But there simply is no historical or other support for the idea that infant #circumcision always has been an immutable requirement for Jewish identity, & so no basis for the idea it couldn't be changed yet again. #i2

      . The Torah has been increasingly validated by historical research &material findings &never once invalidated Any contrary statement is unsupported speculation All academic work is loaded with suppositions &qualifiers Bottom line is universal Jewish practice on the ground

      The members of the Smegma Platoon have psychological issues w/circumcision, the origin of which is obscure & probably differs. Some complain of decreased sensation. Others feel cheated & angry. Others fixate on Jews. The overwhelming # of circumcised men are fine w/it. Not them.

      There's no evidence most circumcised men are "fine w/it." This study addressed that issue & found 64% of men cut as neonates had a negative view of it: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/319635437_Attitude_Toward_One's_Circumcision_Status_Is_More_Important_than_Actual_Circumcision_Status_for_Men's_Body_Image_and_Sexual_Functioning … The decreased sensation is a valid reason to object to it & why it's not ok to force it on an infant.

      . Evidence is that decreased sensation if any inhibits premature ejaculation, which promotes longer staying power &intimacy, and consequent social stabilitypic.twitter.com/bW5FFmkNtT

      Nonsense. The decreased sensation can make it more difficult for a circumcised man to discern & thus control the level of his arousal, and so can cause premature ejaculation. And of course decreased sensation necessarily impairs sexual enjoyment & if severe can impair function.

      . But no one seems to have noticed a problem in all of history, including the thousands of adults circumcised every year for trauma lesions or religious conversions Maybe your concerns are entirely abstractpic.twitter.com/eeuHc5KsI8

      #i2 They're not abstract. Prior to the sexual revolution, men spoke of circumcision problems rarely, if at all. That is changing, and men are speaking up. This website, for example, makes for sobering reading: https://www.mendocomplain.com/
