Not a credible discussion without reference to the fact that circumcision lessens risk for a number of disorders, not the least of which, HIV/AIDS.

It could assert that this is not a significant factor.

But simply to disregard it, is not credible.

And that FGM has no corresponding health benefits.

Don’t forget that urinary tract infections are almost nonexistent in circumcised males. We wouldn’t want to deprive them.

“circumcision lessens risk for a number of disorders”

“Disorders”? Please list!

“...lessens risk”? How so?

Seems that the AAP has found that STD risk is no lowered in men that are circumcised.

As you said: Female circumcision has no medical purpose or benefit whatsoever.

Circumcision does. How much benefit is something that can be debated, but it does have some.
