The WHO doean't support this, and I've lived and worked in medicine all over Africa. You teach them and support them with better self-care, not encouraging genital mutilation. No matter how much shit you sling at the wind, you can literally accomplish this by educating people to wash their dicks.
Refute my challenge you ignored. I never consented to being circumsized and I was circumsized for the same reason. Justify to me how my bodily autonomly wasn't violated as a baby when someone cut off a piece of my penis.
I want to hear your armchair quarterback mental gymnastic bullshit since we're actively trying to teach people all over Weat Africa to just wash your dick.
You know how I know you don't actually work in medicine? Because you're using the term "mutilation" to describe a relatively benign medical procedure. Regardless of whether or not you view it as necessary...at the very least, you should know what that word actually implies...and you would know that it doesn't apply.
Apparently you either don't understand English or you're just angry that you have a mutilated dick.
Hey, I'd be angry too, if someone had mutilated my penis.
