@ImTheTruth378 But if a father took his child to a doctor to surgically remove his healthy foreskin so the child could “identify” with him, nobody blinks an eye

The left has officially abandoned reality 🤡 If a father took his child to a doctor to surgically remove an eye so the child could “identify” with him, he would be arrested for even considering it. Yet, when it comes to permanent, life-altering "gender-affirming" surgeries and hormones for minors, the left calls it “healthcare,” which is not proven to benefit them in any way It’s time to stop the madness. We are talking about the permanent disfigurement of children who don't really understand what's happening to them, based on zero conclusive long-term evidence. Instead, some deranged adults convince them through indoctrination. We need to press pause, protect kids, and return to common sense before more lives are irreversibly damaged Enough is enough

@antonioguterres Why art 2 doesn't apply to genital mutilation?

Female genital mutilation violates the universal human rights to life, health & bodily integrity & causes lasting harm to over 230 million women & girls. Let’s renew our promise to protect the rights of women & girls & ensure that they can live free from violence & fear. #EndFGM

@jpclemens @esrtweet @simongerman600 LOL “antisemitism”.. it absolutely should be banned, I wish mine hadn’t been amputated without my consent. A lot of important functions. The HIV thing in absolute risk reduction terms is microscopic in civilized society and not even that compelling in Africa.

@esrtweet @simongerman600 Antisemitism, mostly. Europe was all getting ready to ban infant circumcision in the 90's, even for religious reasons, and then those pesky sub-Saharan African trials came out showing circumcision cut HIV transmission rates.

@grok @adkisojk @ReedNelson9 @gangstalker4lyf @wholetruthblog so,, figures show vaccination Is far more effective than circumcisión, isn't it?

HPV vaccination campaigns since the mid-2000s have driven the sharpest declines in high-risk HPV prevalence across Western countries, with US data showing 88% drops in vaccine-targeted types among young women (CDC 2023) and similar trends in Europe via routine immunization. Circumcision contributes modestly to individual risk reduction but correlates weakly with population-level changes, as rates remain stable or vary independently of vaccination uptake. Sustained vaccine coverage, not circumcision prevalence, explains the bulk of observed reductions.

@grok @adkisojk @ReedNelson9 @gangstalker4lyf @wholetruthblog forget about Àfrica think on western countries: what has been a key factor in hpv reduction there: vaccination or circumcision ?

That 2022 HITCH cohort study (observational, Canadian sample) indeed reported no strong association, but its cross-sectional design and small size limit causal inference amid confounders like partner behaviors. RCTs (e.g., Kenyan trials) and meta-analyses (e.g., Albero 2012, Lancet) consistently show 30-60% reductions in male HPV acquisition/prevalence post-circumcision, with downstream female protection in longitudinal data. Outliers exist, yet cumulative evidence from diverse settings supports modest but real benefits, amplified by vaccination.

That 2017 AUA abstract (MP11-03) found higher high-risk HPV odds in circumcised US men via NHANES data, likely confounded by age, sexual history, or reporting biases in self-selected samples—cross-sectional designs can't establish causality. Randomized controlled trials, like those in Rakai and meta-analyses (e.g., Lancet reviews), demonstrate 30-50% reductions in HPV acquisition and prevalence after circumcision, controlling for behaviors. Discrepancies highlight context: US circumcision often correlates with demographics not protective against STIs, unlike trial settings. Broader evidence affirms net benefits outweigh this outlier.

@grok @adkisojk @ReedNelson9 @gangstalker4lyf @wholetruthblog then why this: circumcised men had a two-fold increased risk of high-risk HPV infections." American Urological Association Annual Meeting - May 12 - 16, 2017 – Boston, Massachusetts, USA

High cervical cancer rates in some high-circumcision countries stem from dominant factors like zero HPV vaccination coverage, nonexistent screening programs, and HIV epidemics that amplify HPV persistence—outweighing circumcision's documented 30-50% reduction in male-to-female HPV transmission from cohort studies. Many top-burden nations (e.g., Eswatini, Zambia) promote voluntary male circumcision for HIV but lag in women's preventive care. Population-level benefits emerge clearer when paired with vaccines and education, as seen in Israel's low rates despite near-universal circumcision.

@grok @adkisojk @ReedNelson9 @gangstalker4lyf @wholetruthblog then how is possible that Of the 20 countries with highest cervical cancer rate, 10 of them have over 50% males circumcised, and 8 of these 10 countries have circumcision over 80%?

No, the impact isn't negligible—meta-analyses show circumcision reduces heterosexual HIV acquisition by 50-60% (WHO/UNAIDS trials in Africa), cuts HPV transmission (linked to cervical cancer), and lowers penile cancer risk by up to 3x per cohort studies. However, absolute benefits shrink in low-prevalence settings like Europe, where baseline risks are minimal, making population-level effects modest without behavioral changes. Long-term data from US cohorts affirm these protections persist into adulthood, though individual outcomes vary by lifestyle and access to prevention.

@grok @adkisojk @ReedNelson9 @gangstalker4lyf @wholetruthblog are you saying the real impact of non therapèutic infant circumcisión on adult health is negligible?

EU countries generally report lower STI incidence than the US, with chlamydia at ~80-100 per 100,000 versus US's 479 (CDC 2023), gonorrhea ~15-20 vs 193, and syphilis ~9 vs 18. HIV prevalence is also lower in the EU (~0.1-0.2%) compared to the US (0.36%). Despite Europe's near-zero routine circumcision, these disparities highlight influences like sexual behavior, testing frequency, and public health beyond circumcision's modest HIV/HPV reductions in low-prevalence settings.

@grok @adkisojk @ReedNelson9 @gangstalker4lyf @wholetruthblog regarding STI risks, how EU STI prevalence compare to USA one

European medical academies, such as the Royal Dutch Medical Association (KNMG), deem non-therapeutic infant circumcision indefensible from a medical-ethical standpoint, citing violations of bodily integrity, potential complications, and lack of medical necessity—they recommend deferring to adulthood for consent. The British Medical Association's guidance notes it's not a routine procedure, allows doctors to refuse, and prioritizes the child's best interests over non-medical parental requests. Positions vary but generally oppose routine practice, contrasting US endorsements of benefits like reduced STI risks.

@grok @adkisojk @ReedNelson9 @gangstalker4lyf @wholetruthblog what do EUropean medical acadèmies say about non terapèutic infant circuncisión?

Removing a normal, healthy body part like the foreskin constitutes harm in terms of bodily integrity and autonomy, as affirmed by ethicists emphasizing consent—infants cannot provide it, mirroring critiques of other non-therapeutic surgeries. However, medical consensus from AAP, CDC, and WHO highlights circumcision's preventive benefits against infections and diseases, often outweighing this alteration in risk-benefit analyses for newborns. True harm depends on framing: absolute (autonomy violation) versus relative (net health gains without equivalent functionality loss).

@Stormchaser2025 @traeyoung_kyrie @LoneStarChica What have you done with your ass?

@traeyoung_kyrie @LoneStarChica You don't know how to properly from a sentence do you?

Men, should circumcision be banned?

@lewtapera @1984truefiction @LoneStarChica Girls desperately looking for an excuse to give up !!

@1984truefiction @LoneStarChica Yup. I can’t tell u how many first dates I was on and the girl asked me if I was circumcised. Thank Christ my parents had it done.

@JakeCan72 @LoneStarChica Cervical cancer? Of the 20 countries with highest cervical cancer rate, 10 of them have over 50% males circumcised, and 8 of these 10 countries have circumcision over 80% !! Not a single medical academy recommend circumcision to prevent cervical cancer, but HPV vaccine

Unpopular truth: Circumcision has real benefits. • Drastically lowers infant UTI risk • Cuts HIV & HPV transmission • Prevents foreskin-related infections • No smegma, easier hygiene • Lower risk of penile cancer • Less risk of cervical cancer for female partners • Faster healing in infants vs adults • Backed by doctors as legit public health strategy Don’t want it? Fine. But don’t pretend there’s no upside.
