In the 19th century, Reform considered giving up Milah (infant male genital cutting) - but not the idea of a Brit (covenant with G*d). Modern understanding of human rights and sexual equality keeps the issue alive.

The 20th Century US "medical" fad of "c*rc*mc*s**n" - now residual in the rest of the English-speaking world - is an anomaly. www.circumstitions.com

Maybe fewer US men would want bigger penises if they hadn't had penis reduction surgery, in the form of foreskin resection ("c*rc*mc*s**n") imposed on them at birth.

And there is a parallel with the readiness of the FDA to approve devices "substantially equivalent" to previous ones (when there are significant differences), for both operations.

Someone put "intactivism" into a chatbot and it spewed out several statements attributed to me, that are adjacent to what I would say, but really just generic statements about with my name tagged on. None quotes anything I have actually said. One is so far from what I actually say, I'd call it a lie.

It wouldn't surprise me if Diana, a modern young Englishwoman who had worked with children, tried to stop it, as reported, but was thwarted by the dinosaurs in The Firm.

As a modern young Englishwoman who worked with children, Diana probably would have been against it, as reported, so that's another strike against The Firm.

The Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) has issued a new policy on .

It is a big step backward from its 2012 policy (www.circumstitions.com/RACP.html), deleting a whole section on foreskin functions, and greatly watering down its section on ethics, in favour of "parental choice".

I have annotated the policy and uploaded it to

zusammenfassend kann ich dazu nur mein Unverständnis für diese Doppelmoral aussprechen.

Hier im Feidverse sehe ich weiterhin "große" Kämpfer*innen welche ich breit aufstellen und bewusst einige Themen komplett unkommentiert lassen und sogar ein schreckliches Thema wie die Genitalverstümmelung von Jungen mit Geduld hinnehmen.

@greenhombre

Yet with AB768, the state of California specifically denies and interferes with an individual’s reproductive freedom - long prior to his ability to reproduce - in his most intimate decision, whether he may keep his own foreskin.

And they gutted a Bill about climate change to do it!

I mention this only because the Amendment is worded in such general terms - including being gender-neutral - that it becomes relevant.
