Circumcision is the Biblical euphemism used by the [[circumcision industry]] to indicate the irreversible surgical excision and [[amputation]] of the [[foreskin]] (AKA prepuce) of the [[penis]] of a human male. The amputation causes [[MGM| genital mutilation]], permanent disfigurement, and permanent loss of function, which causes an increase in medical issues, degrades normal physiological sexual function, and causes psychological issues. | |||
