There are many myths surrounding the topic of [[circumcision]] that try to justify the [[foreskin]] [[amputation]], which is medically unnecessary. They are all unproven and scientifically refuted. In addition, they are legally on extremely thin ice, since [[human rights]] also apply to babies and children.
This article which was inspired by [[intactivist]] [[Shalea Self]], tries to list them in an alphabetical order to help people find arguments against forced circumcision on minors (aka foreskin amputation aka genital mutilation) easier.
