Totally agree on it being a sensitive subject.. there's a lot of hurt and judgement that is really based in the conscious or unconscious trauma of having your free-dome of choice taken away.
Even more so it's a decision the medical industry has tricked parents into fearing has to be done, when 99% of circumcisions are NOT at all anatomically required. So what you get are some very defensive stances on why it's ok and "better", which I totally get. If you grew up feeling vulnerable your whole like and over exposed it's gonna have some effect on how you see it.
Overall I know all my brothers out there are no less of a man, with or without their natural hood. I just feel sad that the western world has been lead to believe it's a necessary procedure or even worse that it's ascetically superior when actually it's psychologically and permanently damaging. No matter how subtle or not in my opinion and there's no two ways about it. Little babies are just too young to communicate what the fuck they feel or think about the chop.
Final thought cos I can feel my own energy tending towards my own bias now and in now way, no way do I want any cut brothers to feel anger for my words. Just consider this, real talk; when you are uncircumcised how would you ever forcibly rape anyone who is unwilling? I know this is a bit of a dark theoretical idea however just think about it, the pain would be excruciating! For both male and female of course.
Sure I don't know if anyone could even find the real stats on this.. it's just something that popped into my mind right now and makes me wonder.. if no more rapes was a single reason not to circumcise little boys, aside from not abusing their genitals without consent.. then would the world wake up?
Wow ok reading back, I've obviously not as gracefully expressed as I intended. My words just spilled out, I am sorry my brother who have been hurt this way. I am sorry if you feel you have had to make up for the loss of your choice. Your protective shield, your man-hood. I'm sorry if you have never thought about it before and my words are triggering. I am just so sorry that the establishment gets away with this fucking ridiculous practice and has the whole western society thinking it's just about looks..
I'm sorry. All I can do is promise to explain to my son that he is whole and complete and that this is natures beautiful design. And to have compassion for others who have suffered through no fault of their own. I'm done, should just sit down now and breath. Sending love out to the waves and thank you for this provocative and important reflection.
Wholeness 💯
