Foreskin Morbidity in Uncircumcised Males
Sneppen and Thorup, Pediatrics 2016

"In our patient population, we found that 7.2% (95% CI 3.4–11.0) were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as a concomitant disease (Table 3). A recent Danish study calculated the prevalence of ASD in Denmark to be 1.5% among boys."

Association found between ASD and childhood penile surgeries. This is reference 1, next toot has #2.

Ritual circumcision and risk of autism spectrum disorder in 0- to 9-year-old boys: national cohort study in Denmark
Frisch & Simonsen, 2015 J. R. Soc. Med.

"We confirmed our hypothesis that boys who undergo ritual circumcision may run a greater risk of developing ASD. This finding, and the unexpected observation of an increased risk of hyperactivity disorder among circumcised boys in non-Muslim families, need attention"

Two different research groups have now found a relationship between early childhood penile surgeries and autism spectrum disorder. The two different studies had different goals, different recruitment approaches, different study variables, and yet the relationship between ASD and circumcision remains quite striking!

For boys undegoing penile genital cutting before age five, the risk of ASD is even higher.

The association between and was first discovered and reported in

Prenatal and perinatal analgesic exposure and autism: an ecological link
Bauer & Kriebel, 2013. Env. Health

"For studies including boys born after 1995, there was a strong correlation between country-level (n = 9) autism/ASD prevalence in males and a country’s circumcision rate (r = 0.98). A very similar pattern was seen among U.S. states and when comparing the 3 main racial/ethnic groups in the U.S. "

Complementary and Disparate: Conceptualising Female and Male Genital Cutting in Northern Tanzania

Mary-Anne Victoria Decatur, PhD dissertation, U of London 2023.

Yes, I do read your dissertations!

"It is the normal, functioning cells of all foreskins that are deemed dangerous. And yet it is specifically Black male bodies that are being constructed as promiscuous sources of infection in need of medical intervention."

https://eprints.soas.ac.uk/41259/1/Decatur_2024.pdf

"Does the concept of “genital integrity”, which is one of the most potent reasons put forward for opposition to female genital mutilation, apply also to men’s genitals, even if there would be public health benefit from removing men’s foreskins en masse?’. Rather than engage with this ethical question, the consultation’s report advised policy makers and programme developers to emphasise ‘that male circumcision is very different from female genital mutilation’."

@ttpphd@mastodon.social avatar

"Integral to this appears to be the assumption that if medicalised, (male) genital cutting will be consensual and safe."

Doctors have conflated medicalization with consent and safety. Just because you are using sterile instruments does not mean that your surgery is consensual nor does it guarantee that the patient is safe from iatrogenic harm.

Autistic and non-autistic transgender youth are similar in gender development and sexuality phenotypes

Fischbach et al. Br J Dev Psychol. 2024.

"Neither autism diagnostic status nor continuous autistic traits were significantly related to any gender or sexuality phenotypes. These findings suggest that the developmental and experiential features of gender diversity are very similar between autistic and non-autistic transgender adolescents."

If you are an academic, and you use a language model to "predict and generate" a peer review, please just quit your job. Just go do something else. You don't want to be an academic.
