All children are born with the same human rights. Those rights must be protected. Non-therapeutic genital cutting without their consent violates those rights. chooseintact.com Joined January 2009

The intactivism movement lost a powerful and beloved member, Leonard B. Glick, MD, PhD, this week. He said, “I’m an American Jew. But my opposition to genital cutting has nothing to do with my cultural and ethical background. For me, it’s an issue of autonomy and ethics.”

Yes, raise our voices and speak against FGM. It is ethically and medically wrong to cut healthy children. But @UNFPA @UNFPAKen is incoherent on gender equality in basic human rights. “Don’t cut girls” is correct, but advocate for harmful genital cutting of boys? It’s madness.

“I value” It isn’t your body. While what you value may - or may not - be interesting, it isn’t ethically relevant to non-therapeutic genital cutting without the individual’s consent.

Many pro-circumcision comments argue “it doesn’t decrease sensitivity, but if it does, that’s also good.” And the reasons she lists in the excerpt are all forms of control: someone else’s preference over the individual’s. Also: X is more damaging is not a defense of harm from Y.

Non-medical #circumcision of boys is commonplace in the US. The suggestion that it can somehow be justified because women find it more attractive is beneath contempt. Would #FGM be morally permissible if men found trimmed labia more attractive? No. @guardian

Feeling bad for the kids being picked on is empathetic. Arguing that the solution is to alter the kids being picked on is not. Personally, I got picked on for being ginger. Should I have changed my hair color or had my hair color forcibly changed without input to satisfy others?

“You don’t have to be circumcised, your parents don’t have to make that call.” The inanity of this comment is one we hear a lot. It’s the children-are-owned-copies-of-their-parents view that whatever parents choose (to impose) is a perfect substitute for the child’s choice.
