Yes.. it is unbelievable how many say that 'it is my body' and yet when it comes to circumcising baby boys, who cannot speak for themselves, it is alright that 'their body is not their own'.
The hypocrisy is astounding..
These boys have no rights when it comes to their own Body Sovereignty !!!
As a childless man I am also astounded at that ‚with Financial Support..‘ that is another thing that Poltiicians deny Men when it comes to Justice...
Exactly right! I recently heard Trump exclaiming that he would bring an end to the practice of unnecessarily altering children’s sex organs. I wanted to believe that he was taking a stand against the horrific practice of subjecting male babies to genital mutilation that remains unpunishable by law throughout the world. Of course, he was speaking of gender reassignment rather than circumcision. Disappointing that he declined to defend for boys the same protections that girls enjoy throughout the Western world and even in 23 African countries.
I have been weirded-out at seeing a baby with pierced ears, and so one might assume that some parents have tattooed their babies also.
It seems we need restrictions on body mutilations till age 15, to give each person at 15 their body as unmutilated as possible, including no drugs to suppress puberty.
I lost my Twitter account many years ago when pointing-out to [Jewish] Gad Saad that since he was using FGM to declare Muslims Barbarians, that MGM was just as Barbaric. I was not pointing at Judaism - it is Western wide practice.
Apparently if a person argues for male body integrity, it is against 'community guidelines' and those in power will remove your ability to be heard.
Well said. Numerous strategies have been used to silence public discourse advocating for male body integrity. They are all deeply sexist and abhorrent. Brian D. Earp has managed to publish some excellent work discrediting claims that MGM is less consequential than FGM. I’d like to believe we’re making progress on this issue, but we are certainly not progressing quickly enough.

I can only say I hope that he does do something... I for one do not get how any one can rightly say that male circumcision is alright...
