[OPINION] Start with your own circle: How the pandemic turned me into a fact-checker May 15, 2021 11:40 AM PHT Owenh Toledo It s surprising to find fulfillment in things I never thought I d be interested in.

While describing what happened, he was unable to even use the word penis, and instead referred to it as “down there.” He ended, however, by stating that circumcision is “really better” and was thus happy to have gone through the trauma. I shared this piece with a human rights advocate in the US who is part of the group Doctors Opposing Circumcision.
