Society rightfully condemns female genital mutilation. At the same time, it normalizes male circumcision without much reflection. That tension exposes a deeper issue: how easily harm can be reframed as acceptable when it’s wrapped in tradition, religion, or medical authority.

When done to a child, male genital mutilation is no more a "personal decision" than is female genital mutilation. It's also not a "medical decision" when done in the absence of an actual medical condition.

"Foreskin under no circumstances is a body part. It's a piece of skin." There you go, American Academy of Pediatrics and ACOG. Another sterling example of your crumbling circumcision constituency.

Since it's now recognized as medically worthless, why even do it? “Maybe the AAP should get out of the circumcision business, since it’s not really a medical practice.” natlawreview.com/press-releases…
