No, while I do think again the issue should be folded in, and has been by most of those you would likely consider anti circumcision campaigners who are simply against genital cutting on children, the issue here comes from how much Nimco and many other FGM campaigners downplay >>

<< circumcision. If she never mentioned it ever again and campaigned against FGM on just that, I would leave her alone, but she keeps coming back to say FGM is different, FGM is worse, circumcision doesn't do harm etc.

And there's the fundamental disagreement, because she's not right. FGM is not all strictly speaking worse, and circumcision is objectively harmful. And you agreeing with her and being glad that she, someone given a massive platform, is saying such things, standing in the way of>>

I’ve got 9 followers, what do you think arguing with me is going to do? About 5 people are looking at this thread, most of them your fellow campaigners who already agree with you.

We established about 5 billion tweets ago we fundamentally disagreed, you could have spent that time campaigning effectively against male circ.

You can’t show what is factually not wrong as factually wrong that’s impossible. You can link to propaganda and bias sources, but they aren’t facts I’m afraid. To most it is blatantly obvious they’re not the same so by insisting they are you’re undermining your own campaign.

Show me the form of male circumcision, performed on millions of boys that involves cutting of the penis and sewing it up into a tiny hole. Show me the form of male circ that results in death during childbirth (that will be easy for you to find I’m sure). I’ll wait.

An excellent article to highlight the harm that can be caused by circumcision, a great tool for campaigners. What it doesn’t show is millions of boys routinely subjected to intentional removal of their penis which is then sewn into a tiny hole.
