Reaping profit from non-medical procedures on healthy, non-consenting minors is medical fraud, not to mention child abuse.

Just a fun little poll: Intactivists, who are you voting for? What this is about; to show where intactivists fall on the political spectrum. Who are intactivists voting for... π€π Might be interesting, @BenjaminABoyce Spread whenever appropriate.

@texasparrott @DeathLepricon @whatever So parents can decide to cut their girls if they wanted to? How is elective surgery on a healthy child "medical?" I absolutely agree with preventing parents from commanding Drs to perform elective cosmetic surgery on minors. Children can't consent to elective cosmetic surgery.

@TheGarrettWade @whatever Consider most men don't need to have it done. You're more likely to need kidney stones or gall stones out.

@texasparrott @whatever Do you think it should be "up to parents" to cut little girls? After all, religion, tradition, parental choice, cultural identity and all that jazz...

@Mankosmash @whatever "Superior?" Cut guys would like to think so. They need to cope somehow...

@Mankosmash @whatever If #circumcision prevented #HIV, lower HIV prevalence would be observed in countries w/ high circumcision rates. They're NOT. Countries by #circumcision prevalence: Countries by #HIV prevalence:

@Mankosmash @whatever If #circumcision reduced STD risks, lowered STD rates would be observable in circumcising countries. The opposite is true:

@Mankosmash @whatever "Superior" to the natural organ? 1. 70% of dudes are uncut globally. This is nothing more than cut guy cope. 2. Hygiene does not require surgery. There is nothing wrong with having a whole dick. 3. This is not self evident in real data. 4. This is demonstrably false.

@whatever We spend billions on it. In any other case, reaping profit from elective, non-medical surgery on healthy, non-consenting individuals constitutes medical fraud. That's billions that could be put to better use. @DOGE should cut funds for this & all medically unnecessary surgery.
@elonmusk We uncovered data showing that Medicaid was billed nearly $37 billion between 1999-2016 for non-therapeutic infant circumcisions. It is unlawful for Medicaid to be used on unnecessary treatment. End the funding for circumcision now!

@tlindblad @DelusionPosting Yes, haircuts put you at risk for infection, loss of the penis, hemorrhage and death. Oh no wait, that's #circumcision.

@ObviousRises I hope @DOGE cuts funding for this. What a waste of taxpayer money.

RT @ObviousRises: Anyone who defends circumcising male babies (who are helpless and cannot consent) are demons who need to be wiped off theβ¦

The risks of male infant #circumcision include infection, loss of penis, hemorrhage and death. Even if a child survives, circumcision removes the most sensitive part of the penis, and the exposed glans and mucosa become keratinized, resulting in further desensitization.
@ObviousRises I did e-jury duty on a botched circumcision case. It was absolutely brutal. The guy couldn't even feel anything when having sex.
