Introduction

Circumcision is often dressed up in the language of medicine, culture, or tradition. Parents are told it’s “healthy,” “clean,” or simply “what everyone does.” Doctors present it as routine, while society accepts it as normal. But when we strip away the excuses, what’s left is chillingly clear: circumcision is grooming.

It grooms a society to accept harm as harmless. It grooms parents to believe they are protecting their child by cutting them and it grooms boys into silence, teaching them to deny their pain and say, “I’m fine,” when they are not.

This blog is a call to tear off the blindfold. To look at the cycle of abuse and denial for what it truly is and most importantly to end it.

Footnote: Grooming thrives where silence and normalization exist. Circumcision continues not because it’s right, but because it’s been normalized to the point of invisibility.

Section 1: Grooming Disguised as Medicine

Parents are sold circumcision as healthcare, when in reality it is cosmetic genital surgery on violating child. The language is always strategic: “cleaner,” “healthier,” “safer.” These words are chosen to create fear, to push parents into signing off on something they don’t fully understand.

Doctors, who should be healers, too often act as salesmen. They present circumcision as routine, sometimes pushing for it within hours of birth. When the first cut “doesn’t take” meaning the foreskin wasn’t removed to their liking they recommend a re-circumcision. This alone proves the fraud: if circumcision were truly “medical care,” why would it need to be redone? The answer is simple: because it was never about health, only appearance and profit.

Footnote: “Re-cuts” are the medical industry’s unspoken confession: circumcision is not necessary healthcare. If it were, it wouldn’t fail so often that babies are sent back under the knife.

Section 2: The ‘I’m Fine’ Cop-Out

Many circumcised men insist they are “fine.” But scratch the surface, and this answer often reveals itself as a coping mechanism. Trauma survivors commonly normalize their abuse because confronting the pain feels unbearable. It’s easier to say “I’m fine” than to admit, “Something was taken from me, and I can never get it back.”

This denial is a form of survival. It’s a shield men use to avoid the grief and anger that comes with realizing what was stolen, but by repeating “I’m fine,” men not only bury their own pain they also keep the cycle alive. They unwittingly become defenders of the very abuse that harmed them.

This is trauma bonding. It is Stockholm syndrome. It is the conditioned response of someone forced to accept harm as normal, then defend it to protect their own psyche.

Footnote: Saying “I’m fine” does not equal healing. It equals suppression and suppressed wounds never heal they fester, until someone breaks the silence.

Section 3: Circumcision = Grooming

Let’s stop dodging the truth: circumcision is grooming. It is grooming a culture to see cutting children’s genitals as acceptable. It is grooming boys to believe that scars are normal and wholeness is foreign and it is grooming parents to trust doctors instead of their instincts to protect their child.

The hypocrisy is staggering. If this were done to girls, society would call it what it is: mutilation and grooming, but because it is done to boys, society bends over backwards to justify it. Tradition. Religion. Hygiene. Cosmetic preference. These are all excuses none of them erase the fact that a child’s body is being permanently violated.

Circumcision thrives on silence, denial, and shame. These are the exact conditions in which grooming operates.

Footnote: Grooming doesn’t always look like candy and secrets. Sometimes it looks like white coats and clipboards. Sometimes it looks like “routine medical care.”

Section 4: The Human Cost of Grooming

Every cut leaves scars not just on the body, but on the soul. Boys grow into men carrying the weight of a violation they never asked for. Some undergo multiple cuts, each one compounding the trauma.

The foreskin is not “extra skin.” It contains over 16 unique functions: protection, nerves, lubrication, immune defense, and more. Circumcision steals all of this permanently. Men are left robbed of sensitivity, robbed of protection, robbed of the natural state of their own bodies. Then, society gaslights them by saying, “You’re fine. It doesn’t matter. Get over it.”

This is the true human cost of circumcision grooming: men forced to live with scars, silenced from speaking about them, and robbed of the very knowledge of what they lost.

Footnote: When men are told “you’re fine,” they’re being asked to swallow their grief for someone else’s comfort. That is not healing. That is silencing.

Conclusion: Breaking the Cycle

Circumcision is not medicine. It is not tradition. It is not culture. It is grooming. It is abuse dressed up as care. It is denial repeated so often it becomes a mantra and it is harm that perpetuates itself through silence.

But it does not have to continue. The cycle can end and we hold the power to end it.

The Solution:

• Education – Parents deserve the truth. They must know the foreskin’s value and the lifelong harm of cutting.

• Legislation – Laws like the Genital Integrity Act of 2025 are essential to protect children’s bodies, regardless of gender.

• Healing & Advocacy – Men must be given safe spaces to confront their pain honestly, without the pressure to say “I’m fine.”

• Cultural Shift – We must normalize wholeness. We must celebrate intact bodies and expose the lie that scars equal health.

Closing Line:

Genitals shouldn’t have scars. Grooming ends when we expose the truth, protect the child, and reclaim wholeness as every human’s birthright.

Circumcision is Grooming. Wholeness is Every Child’s Birthright.
