Has the @ameracadpeds.bsky.social AAP figured out the the functions and benefits of the foreskin yet?
the foreskin has the most sensitive nerves, protects the glans from desensitizing and provides a gliding sheath that reduces friction and adds a nice sensation, let boys be undamaged and intact

How come your circumcision information excludes the downsides both mechanically and sensation wise? You focus only on surgical downsides and ignore the big guaranteed harms. Is it because if you acknowledged these that circumcision would become indefensible and unprofitable?

@acog.org how come your circumcision information doesn’t list the functional/sensation downsides? You list only the surgical risks, trivial health benefit claims but NOT the actual downsides
The foreskin keeps the glans sensitive and allows for friction free gliding skin, a mechanical difference

Since we have this can the @who.int stop suggesting the circumcision should be considered, especially as recent Canadian and Denmark studies show is ineffective?
We shouldn’t advocate a damaging and unnecessary surgery on children

Circumcision and Risk of HIV among Males from Ontario, Canada - PubMed
We found that circumcision was not independently associated with the risk of acquiring HIV among males from Ontario, Canada. Our results are consistent with clinical guidelines that emphasize safe-sex practices and counseling over circumcision as an intervention to reduce the risk of HIV.

More kids die of circumcisions in the U.S., with estimates of 10-100 per year.
The rest of the world doesn’t do this, we need to stop as there’s no reason for the damage to sensation and function

Any American medical source is terrible for information on the male anatomy, they’ve yet to figure it the functions or benefits of the foreskin

We are the only country that routinely circumcises boys for non religious reasons, why is this relevant? Well we’ve lost our humanity, men are told to accept the genital damage/trauma done to them and many women feel is acceptable for men to have this damage, trauma. It hurts the mind, the spirit

I know some people will scoff at that comparison but as someone going to therapy for it, it is valid
We wouldn’t dismiss a woman’s rape if she was drugged and she doesn’t remember it, and having to look at a scar every time I pee and know something so horrible was done to me, it’s horrifying

Has the AAP figured it the basic functions and benefits of the foreskin yet? Included a single intact male on the committee deciding circumcision policy? Stated why they disagree with every other country’s medical system?

Vaccines are good, but I think in other cases like circumcision we’ve allowed cultural beliefs to dictate medical policy, as two AAP circumcision task force members recently stated that they couldn’t recommend it on medical benefits alone. now we are trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube

Vaccines are good but they pushed circumcision despite the largest studies showing it gives no std protection, they seem to pick and choose when they follow the science

Any chance you could spend a fraction of your time and start recognizing the benefits of the foreskin and align your policy with every other developed country? Place human rights and medical ethics above profits?
The foreskin has benefits and shouldn’t be removed

From the medical organization that still doesn’t list the benefits and functions of the foreskin, has a misleading expired statement on circumcision as their most recent statement, which was counter to every other developed country’s policy, where they don’t cut @ameracadpeds.bsky.social

Vaccines are good people, circumcision is bad. When we allow circumcision for parental preferences and ignore that every other country doesn’t see the value in it, but we do it anyway, it is hard to then criticize parental preferences in vaccines
