For what possible purpose?
Would you have had female circumcision done if they were girls?
If not why not?

This is simply elective involuntary surgery done on an infant, how can you possibly justify that?

@LenHazell53, are you aware of the difference between male and female circumcision? It’s a false equivalency.
As an RN that’s seen hundreds of men that cannot maintain thier hygiene and watching my husband enduring surgery in his 40’s, wasn’t difficult.
My boys are very thankful and I have spoken to them about it.
I do not ever need to justify my choices..especially medical ones to an untrained person.

@Green_eyes Of course I am perfectly aware of the difference, and both are obnoxious, both are the deliberate mutation of the genital organs of an infant BY AMPUTATION with no consent is in no way a false equivalency especially in the context of intent.
Circumcision has nothing to do with hygiene, it is a barbaric religious practice designed to lessen or in the case of FGM obliterate the pleasurable side of "Dirty Sex" and make it simply for procreation.
That you chose to cut off a part of your infant child's body for no good reason, make my appreciation of your proxy choices on their behalf and your "Training" pretty low.
However to return to the original post, and doubly so in your case how can you as a medical professional justify unnecessary and elective surgery.

@LenHazell53 so the response is no. By the way, most cardiac procedures are elective.

Cropped & docked! ? ??

But was it done to you in infancy without your consent?

@LenHazell53 Sure, like everything else that is done to you as a child. I like the way it looks, and am totally fine with it.

@Sticks48 Good for you, but you must admit you have never had the chance to compare, you simply had a fait accompli dumped on you.
I personally find the idea of infant genital mutilation horrific in men and women.

@Sticks48 fair enough
