Tim Burgess: "more of a horror story"

  • What is your strongest childhood memory?

    Being circumcised, although I should say it’s more like a horror story than a loving memory of, for example, spending time with my parents. But, yeah, it was being circumcised in a hospital bed and waking up halfway through the operation. I was seven, I think, and it was something to do with not being able to pull my foreskin back as much as I should have been able to. Bet you weren’t expecting that one, were you?

    Kein Junge muss mit sieben die Vorhaut zurückziehen können. Eine solche Vorschrift gibt es nicht.

    Indeed, as the history of female circumcision suggests, if male circumcision
    were confined to developing nations, it would by now have emerged as an in-
    ternational cause celebre, stirring passionate opposition from feminists, physicians, politicians, and the global human rights community. If routine medical
    circumcision didn't exist today, no one would dare to invent it.
