Circumcision is unnecessary, unethical and unlawful. It is time to hold doctors, hospitals and medical organizations accountable.

Rooted in never-before-seen government records, THE NORMAL THING TO BE tells the full story of how a group of powerful circumcision enthusiasts turned a heavily-contested American norm into a global public health iniative, at the expense of children's rights. punchup.press/books/the-norm…

The medical "consensus" on circumcision was never as independent as it looked.
FOIA documents show a small group of advocates worked the system from the inside. A thread on what the emails revealed. 🧵

Circumcision removes 12.5 square inches of foreskin — roughly the size of an index card. go.nature.com/3PKvzk3 This isn’t “extra skin.” It’s highly functional sensitive tissue. Once it’s cut off, it’s gone forever. Do you agree this choice should belong to the person? 👍👎

For anyone seeing this and realizing what circumcision has taken from them: your feelings are valid, and we're working on a solution. Foregen is developing a regenerative medicine procedure to restore the foreskin in form, function, and sensation.

Half of American baby boys are circumcised. Ryan Jones spent years on FOIA requests, interviews, and buried records to find out how it became "normal," and who pushed it on the rest of the world.

A handful of circumcision advocates held key positions inside the WHO, CDC, NIH, and a few elite universities.
Public records show they coordinated behind the scenes in ways the official record doesn't reflect.
It's all in their own emails.

@DOGE is now looking at waste, fraud, and abuse within @CMSGov, which administers Medicaid. Write to DOGE@mail.house.gov now and urge them to end Medicaid coverage of infant circumcision!

We uncovered data showing that Medicaid was billed nearly $37 billion between 1999-2016 for non-therapeutic infant circumcisions. It is unlawful for Medicaid to be used on unnecessary treatment. End the funding for circumcision now! circumcisionisafraud.com/foi…

The desire to update the AAP's policy may have come from within the CDC. These emails show @PeterKilmarx prioritized Medicaid coverage after the AAP's 1999 policy led 16 states to drop it. So in 2007, the CDC wanted AAP to "change their recommendations." 1drv.ms/b/s!Ak3Qe-X3Jbyog58e…
"During twenty years of active practice in general medicine and surgery it has been my experience to have seen many fads and fancies of our profession arise, flourish for a time, and then fade away…I have been awaiting a sensible attitude of our brethren in the matter of...
...circumcision, but by the journals I judge that the acme of that fad has not been reached. I wish to be numbered among the pioneers who protest against the indiscriminate circumcision of male infants."
- J.C. Farmer, 1909

Brian Morris, the world's foremost circumcision enthusiast, works with a network of proponents to publish pro-circumcision literature and respond venomously to skeptics. In this email chain, Morris characterizes these efforts as a "war" between good and evil.
One of his acolytes, Richard Wamai, describes their efforts as "defending science" and insinuates that circumcision skeptics have an "anti-science agenda". Wamai also thanks Morris for encouraging him to take the lead on writing this: malecircumcision.org/sites/d…
Morris responds by pressing his disciples to remain ever-vigilant in their struggle against "anti-circ drivel".
