Experts on Circumcision: “Not a Medical Procedure”
The ethical logical behind circumcision comes down to little more than this: Freedman believes parents have a right to do what they want to children so long as we think of parents as loving and benevolent.

In his own words, here is one of the US's leading pediatric urologists and a key author of the American Academy of Pediatrics's 2012 Task Force on Circumcision. In 2026, Dr. Freedman is debunking myths about circumcision that many health care professionals believe.

A recent study demonstrates that it is the F-spot (frenular delta) that is the center of erogenous sensation of the intact penis, rather than the glans or head of the penis. Circumcision damages or even completely removes the specialized structures of the F-spot.

"It is pretty damn sad and pathetic to watch so many people in developed countries in the West turning on modern medicine and science simply because they don’t actually understand how any of it works. Instead of engaging with the biology or the data, they just default to emotional gut reactions and cultural discomfort and then try to dress all of that up as if it’s some kind of informed position. It’s not."

Head of swedish neo Nazi party (swedish democrats) saying that circumcision should be allowed to Jewish families, but forbidden for Muslims in Sweden.
It's kind of sad that such an open islamophobic statement is not only tolerated, but also supported by 20% of the population of #Sweden these days.

A trial date has been set in Hadachek v. Oregon, an historic lawsuit pursuing equal protection against forced genital cutting regardless of sex assigned at birth. A trial readiness conference is scheduled for Dec 4, 2026. This is the first lawsuit of it's kind to go to the merits of the case.

In light of the proposed "Transgender Bill of Rights", in this thread I want to walk you through research by and about trans, intersex, and gender-expansive people and our lived experiences of unwanted genital cutting vs. gender affirming care. By the end of the thread you will understand the principle of subsidiarity and why forced genital surgeries should be banned.🧵

Words fail me. WTF is Amazon thinking?
Once upon a time, most people restricted DIY activities to putting up shelves, or a bit of routine car maintenance.

Es ist egal, ob die Frauenärztin eine eigene Praxis hat oder in einem Krankenhaus arbeitet.
Wichtig ist, dass diese Ärztin Kontakt zu Nord- und Ostafrikanischen Frauen und Mädchen hat.
Es geht um die Auswirkung von #Circumcision

IMAGINE DOING THAT TOOTHBRUSH THING WITH YOUR CLITORIS, MA’AM! Or, fellow men, if you are intact, imagine doing it!
I am 68 now, and I WOULD GIVE MY RIGHT ARM if I could live again, WITH my foreskin!
And, BTW, for most of my life, until ~13 years ago, I thought, “I’m circumcised and I’m OK with it!” – believing that the problems I DID actually have were my own, private, problems.
It was only when someone sent me to https://www.circumstitions.com that I realized that I had these diverse problems in common with circumcised (i.e. genitally mutilated) men. That was a harsh awakening for sure, from the #denial that #intactivists call the #CircumcisionComa.

Time to share this again because my life’s time is running out, I may have a year or two left but could just as well drop any day. Therefore I need to spread this far and wide, as I am a victim of this #barbaric #malpractice of #circumcision, of male #genital_mutilation.
I was circumcised shortly before my 6th birthday – I FKN REMEMBER HOW MUCH MORE SENSITIVE I WAS “DOWN THERE” before they did it to me, what extremely joyous, “electric”, feelings I had when I touched my glans and played with my foreskin, feelings that ran through my whole body from there.
In my twenties already there was NOTHING of that sensitivity anymore, you could press a #toothbrush against my glans and I’d not even know what was happening there unless I’d LOOK, I am so numb there that I only have very vague feeling of pressure there, and temperature, but nothing erogenous, no joyous feelings anymore.

Weil immer noch viele meinen, dass #Zirkumzision #Circumcision #Beschneidung von Knaben keine #Genitalverstümmelung #MGM sei, oder »nicht so schlimm wie #FGM«.
Hier der Begleittext zum Thema, der von Intaktiv e.V. zusammen mit dem Link auf Facebook geteilt wurde:
»Heute vor 13 Jahren beschloss der Bundestag die Einfügung von Paragraf 1631d , bekannt auch als "Beschneidungsgesetz" , in das Bürgerliche Gesetzbuch ( BGB) . Dieses Gesetz ermöglicht es Eltern, ihren Söhnen ohne Begründung die Vorhaut vom Penis abschneiden zu lassen. Grund genug , daran zu erinnern, dass längst nicht alle als Kind Beschnittenen glücklich und zufrieden mit diesem ungebetenen Eingriff in ihrem intimsten Bereich sind. Seht hierzu die großartige Doku von Insa Onken aus dem Jahr 2022: «

“Research Into The Lived Experiences of Circumcised Men”
“15 Square believes that it is essential to engage in dialogue respectfully and with integrity—to raise awareness about the harms that some circumcised men have experienced and to encourage open dialogue and rational thinking. As it is a concern that is often raised by people sceptical of circumcision critics is that ‘circumcision is an important part of religious and cultural practice.’
At our Annual General Meeting, 15 Square was delighted to host the work of Leeanne Morris, MSc. Leeanne has been working on research into the psychological impacts of male circumcision. Leeanne interviewed members of 15 Square and men outside our organisation and then conducted a thematic analysis to find the common experiences expressed by the participants of her research.”
