Very good. And the answer, unfortunately, is yes. "I sure hope that no one grows up to feel like they were violated, but I am not the first to feel this way about the fact that I was subjected to MGM, and until the practice is stopped, I will not be the last. My family’s reaction has very clearly exposed several examples of how America’s culture of genital cutting makes people blind to the very real harm that can result from MGM. If you haven’t read my piece explaining how MGM harmed me and violated me, the main thrust of the piece was to explain to people that I advocate against MGM so that no more boys will have to grow up to feel the way that I feel about what was done to me in the name of a completely avoidable, elective surgery..... When a group of doctors and scientists (American Academy of Pediatrics) publish a report aimed directly at parents and insurance companies that claims on one hand that the risks of circumcision are not well known, and then on the other hand claims that the “benefits” of MGM outweigh the risks, you can see our genital cutting culture at work. The report is right here if you want to read it, and that is exactly what they claim. Again, one part of the report states that the risks are circumcision are not well known, yet the benefits outweigh the risks. This is completely absurd and once again a textbook example of genital cutting culture. More proof of our genital cutting culture and the real harm it brings upon our boys lies in the fact that the very doctors performing MGM on most boys in the US are Obstetricians/Gynecologists. That’s right people. Doctors trained to help support the reproductive and genital health of *women* are the most common perpetrators (profiteers) of MGM. Take a moment to process that. An OB/GYN, whose only training in matters of penile health consist of it’s partial amputation are the ones taking the knives to our little boys. We don’t let dentists perform LASIK and we don’t let anesthesiologists perform surgery. So why do we let OB/GYN’s who know *NOTHING* about penile health perform painful, harmful, penis tissue removal surgery? You guessed it, our genital cutting culture."
