Some of these YouTube transcripts are from the listening button of my writings on Medium, some are of my voice.
Summary for Everyone: Circumcision does not allow you to feel the softest, gentlest tip of Who You Are. It goes against your Heart and Soul, and has major ramifications on the world we live in. It is a de-evolution. Scary! I hope scientists can research this more. My playlist should give you a lot of variables to consider. Thank you.
Summary for Christians: Jesus, Yeshua, already said to stop circumcision! “In Galatians 5:2–6, the Apostle Paul famously warns that requiring circumcision for salvation invalidates Christ’s sacrifice. He writes: “Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all… For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.” — Google AI

Isn’t it interesting that the people get up in arms about women’s genitals being cut off at a young age, but they do not do that for boys?
Female Genital Mutilation cuts off a woman’s sexual satisfaction. This then is deemed that the female is more pure, non-sexual, vaginal, modest, slaveable.
It is a historical, patriarchal, misogynistic stance that is practiced in uneducated societies that makes part of a woman’s body “bad”. That her sexuality is not okay.
In actuality, just like in Male Genital Mutilation (circumcision) it cuts off your most sensitive organ. It cuts off your intuition, your satisfaction, your connection to your children, your love, your heart, your power, your truth.
So, Judaism is all about logic? Judaism is about Questioning, if you didn’t know.
So why are we still doing this practice to men and women?
I would say, ego. Tradition. Flip-flopping. Feeling like a dumbass…
Sometimes it helps to see the other side. There are probably a lot of men who still feel like circumcision is a good thing, because they are tied to their culture, rather than intelligent souls that are pointing towards the future of having a normal, un-mutilated penises.
So, let’s talk about Female Genital Mutilation, and I’m sure many of you men would agree this is an egregious practice. Then, after you read this article, do you feel the same way about Male Genital Mutilation? If you’re a Jew, then Question, be Curious. That is the way of God.
I used to live in Mali, West Africa, in the Peace Corps where this practice of FGM was common. If your daughter did not get FGM, then she was at risk of not having a husband. It has become a cultural tradition.
I spoke with more educated people there, especially one man, and he agreed this practice was not acceptable.
*FGM is not just a horrific human rights violation, it also takes its toll on the mental and physical well-being of survivors. A pilot study that was supported by the WHO found that 30% of survivors showed signs of post-traumatic stress disorder, while 80% had anxiety disorders. — Global Citizen*
Watch this short film about the Four Types of FGM
“I underwent FGM when I was 11 years old,” says Bishara. “I was told by my grandmother FGM is a requirement for every girl, that it made us pure.”
But what Bishara did not know was that it would leave her with irregular periods, bladder problems, and recurrent infections. She was only able to give birth via Caesarean section.
She is now an anti FGM campaigner. — BBC

Also, here is a film you can watch:
Jaha’s Promise Synopsis
Like most other girls in Gambia, Jaha Dukureh experienced genital mutilation when she was very young. Her marriage was arranged when she was eight, and as a 15-year-old she got married to a 40-year-old man in New York. Jaha’s Promise is a touching story about a young girl’s struggle to take control of her own body, and about having the courage to confront her father, the politicians and the community that surrounds her. A strong film about an even stronger woman and the suffering of countless other women in a world where over 200 million women live with the devastating consequences of female genital mutilation, which is still being practiced in 30 countries.
Speakers: Patrick Farrelly (filmmaker)
Here is also a film on Call the Midwife that might get your heart feeling differently about this practice:

Men in Mali are helping too!
Coulibaly speaking to the community.
*Of the 180 villages we work with, 92 have now declared themselves to be FGM-free. In one of these villages in south-western Mali, the village chief explains why: “In our village, men, women and children are now aware of the consequences of FGM. Our excisers are being converted into activists for the abandonment of the practice. Our daughters are no longer excised. We have abandoned the practice of female genital mutilation.”*
But it is Mali’s young people, the future generations, who will prove the most effective in ensuring long term change in the country.
“We are now able to convince adults and our peers of the consequences of FGM,” Coulibaly explains. “Our parents are lining up alongside us from now on to fight against FGM. We remain more committed than ever to ensure that no more girls suffer the consequences of this practice.” — Plan International
This is a community-wide effort for the entire world. We all need to agree that Female Genital Mutilation and Male Genital Mutilation are harmful, deleterious, makes no sense anymore, and steals the life of a human being. It is evil. Plain and simple.
In this series on Circumcision, in Part II, I wrote about the benefits to men of not having their penis cut off. Here I will write about the benefits that could be similar for women too:
Now, you get to be you!
Cutting off your vagina:
- desensitizes you
- can make you cruel
- can make you dumb
- demasculinizes you
- less powerful
- can make you untruthful
- less intuitive
- more afraid
- can make you less able to communicate with your children
- your soul can end up in another dimension
Tips to remain clean and STD free:
- Shower your body at least daily and make sure your partner is clean too
- Make sure your socks and shoes are clean ~ tea tree oil helps
- Shower after intercourse
- Being cautious with who you choose to have intercourse with; do you actually Love them???
- Then you do not have to worry about STDs, or feeling icky
Having a normal life-created vagina can help you:
- Be more loving and kind
- Connect you to your most sensitive part, your little girl
- Be more creative
- Have a more exotic sex drive
- Be more powerful
- More intuitive
- More sensory ability
- Grow taller perhaps
- Have better sexual intercourse, because you can feel your vagina! Whew!
