      This has nothing with medical “benefits.” Not a single respected medical organization recommends male infant #circumcision based on any “benefits.” @AmerAcadPeds said “the benefits aren’t great enough” in 2012. I’m afraid you don’t know what you’re talking about. #i2

      I just don’t want every conversation about FGM to become a convo about circumcision because they are NOT the same

      I’m sorry, but that age ended not too long ago when the federal law against #FGM was struck down. I’m afraid there is no firewall between male and female circumcision anymore. If you don’t want the issue to be about BOTH SEXES then I’m afraid you’re in for a rude awakening. #i2

      As long as cutting female genitals is an issue, cutting male genitals is also. As long as #FGM is talked about, then #MGM will be continued to be brought up. No longer will boys and men be erased. Deal with it. #i2

      It wasn't about FGC but about _attitudes_ towards mothers. Every Intactivist (in fact just about every western person) opposes FGC. Every culture that cuts girls also cuts boys (THEY see them as the same), and we'd look less like hypocrites to them if we were gender-neutral.

      And people have the same right to speak on circumcision. No one has said not to- just don’t overrun a thread about FGM to speak on it

      The people who cut girls don't think they're different topics. Without exception, they all cut boys too, usually using the same word.

      But the convo about circumcision was about the US. And the reasons why it’s done here are different than FGM- parents are more than likely

          Circumcising bc they have been told it reduces risks of certain disease and cancer.

          So if parents start using “cancer” as an excuse, and they get “doctors” (who just happen to belong to the same religion) to agree to do it, it suddenly becomes “OK?” #i2

          If thousands of medical reports had been published and many mainstream doctors began to recommend it I’m sure it’d become a convo

          The "thousands of medical reports" contradict each other. Even the AAP doesn't recommend MGC, and they're on their own in their wishy-washy stance, so what are you talking about?pic.twitter.com/RSydKgQsaD

          again haven’t said I support it. Saying the majority reasnon for doing it it based on medical studies

          Simply not so. Gentiles started doing it to punish or impair self-pleasure, switched to medical excuses when masturbation hysteria faded, and the medical claims were concocted afterwards, to prop that up. Cultural bias is clear within many of the studies.

          You must be joking. The medical "studies" were done by people already culturally biased to cut (in the USA or counties like Turkey) and have virtually nothing to do with why Americans still cut. It's all about "Foreskin - Eew!" or "He'll never get a BJ!"

          The reasons why either is done are always the same. Cultural ingrained inertia and sexual control. In both it’s always the parents “agreeing” to it, both believing it’s “beneficial” and/or a cultural requirement for social acceptance. #i2 #FGM #circumcision

          Not really. In the US, when majority people speak about abortion they quote STUDIES. Don’t deny that dude

          Speak out against the studies. Find your own that go against them and spread those, but don’t try to explain peoples own reasoning to them

          But the violation of basic human rights is the same. Incidentally, while #FGM is an issue that affects select women in Africa and SouthEast Asia, #MGM is a greater issue affecting men more. It’s nonsensical that people want to minimize if not erase the issue. #i2
