No way to reply, it seems. Coward. Parents who circumcise their daughters don’t “apologize” for it either. This parent is just the same.

She won't apologize. Except she would to her son, if he were upset about it. Entirely possible b/c increasing numbers of Jewish men (1) resent their circumcisions or (2) are glad to practice their Judaism intact.

It's "terribly cruel" but she just does what her family, husband & unethical "older" doctors tell her to do w/out question. It does have "negative long term effects" whether or not she was "aware of them at the time."

She assumed intact penises must be bad b/c she'd never seen one. No one can know until her son hits puberty whether he'll be free of complications, but she assumes that too. She thinks she "does right" by her son but jeopardized his health - just like mothers of cut girls do

She finishes by making Intactivists' central argument, as any honest person must: "The choice should have been his." She's halfway to being a Regret Mom. I don't know whether to roll my eyes or ask where to send the box of chocolates. #i2 @AmerAcadPeds #tweetiatricians @AAPPres
