The term '''Circumcision advocate''' describes a person who vehemently advocates and pronounces in favor of medically not necessary , non-therapeutic [[circumcision]] aka [[foreskin]] [[amputation]] aka [[genital mutilation ]] in children.

== Reasons ==* Some of these people that advocate [[circumcision]] are have a sexual fetish and are committed to their fetish it as individuals and influence e.g. information available online (example: [[Jake Waskett]]). * Others work in groups and denounce, ridicule or stalk [[intactivists ]] or spread myths that have long been refuted by science as arguments for [[circumcision]].* But many also simply believe that it is the [[Parental rights|legal right of parents]] to choose and allow their sons to have part of their healthy genitalia cut off without any medical necessity. There is reason to believe that many (perhaps most) circumcisionadvocates are actually victims of [[circumcision]] who suffer from [[Psychological issues of male circumcision#Depression, rage, and grief in circumcised men|denial of loss]].

Virtually all of the leading medical associations around the world agree that [[circumcision]] in children almost never has a [[medical indication]]. Nevertheless, it is significant that the circumcision advocates try again and again with a sophisticated method sophistry and fallacious aurguments to pretend seriousness on the subject: They claim to take a "neutral" point of view and list the [[Arguments pro circumcision|alleged advantages of genital mutilation]] alongside the disadvantages, although they regularly only touch on the latter, not but show that they want to describe them completely.

Since, according to the current state of science and medical ethics, there is no medical justification for foreskin [[amputation]], there can be no advantages for the affected boy. Therefore, many circumcision advocates expose themselves to this allegedly "neutral" point of view from the outset.

True [[Category:Circumcision fetishist|circumcision fetishists]] like [[Brian Morris]] on the other hand speak straight away: He e.g. has repeatedly called for circumcision to be made compulsory for all boys worldwide, and has claimd claimed that the [[intact ]] [[foreskin ]] would be a great danger for boys.

Chances are that discussions about the [[MGM]] topic will culminate in an exchange of unkindness. There is no tendency to determine whether [[intactivist]]s or circumcision advocats advocates have started to escalate a discussion; people and situations are too different for that and each person has other trigger words on which to react on. But there are samples which often repeat and are used by circumcision advocats advocates mostly, especially when they can no longer stand up argumentatively.

* Insist on [[arguments pro circumcision|circumcision myths]] which are already debunked and refuted by science or testemoniestestimonies.* Name Call [[intactivism ]] a "[[cult]]", a "crazy world" or even a "mental disorder".

It is striking that the choice of words is often quite aggressive and full of ad hominem attacks, [[intactivists ]] are referred to often as liars, etc. At first glance, groups like ''The Antisemitic Roots of Intactivism'' seem to be important, since intactivists don't tolerate anti-Semitism of course, too. But groups whose names already imply that [[intactivism ]] is fundamentally anti-Semitic disqualify themselves from the outset as being biased. Most of these pages are run anonymously, while e.g. "[[REAL Circumcision Truths.]]" seems to be a covered advertising page from ''[[mohel]]'' [[Hayim Leiter]] who does all the contribution.

Most == No choice for human rights violations ==The approach of all websites and pages listed here, that it is reliably a parental choice whether to have a healthy child's healthy [[foreskin]] amputated without [[medical indication]] for any reason, disregards the legal fact that there is no choice as to whether or not to commit [[human rights]] abuses. Medically not indicated amputation of any part of a child's body is illegal by definition and cannot be legalized by parental agreements. Therefore, all information on these websites and pages are run anonymouslyshould be viewed as fundamentally critical, while eif not as a call for human rights violations.g [[Peter W. "REAL Adler|Adler]] (2022) layed out in his comprehensive legal treatise [[Circumcision Truths." seems Is A Fraud: And The Coming Legal Reckoning]]: There is no legal basis for parents to consent to be the irreversible amputation of healthy parts of their children's bodies without a covered advertising page from mohel compelling and urgent [[Hayim Leitermedical indication]] who does all the contribution.
