It IS a lie, to say there is an established link between the two.
"A controversial new study from Denmark shows a link between circumcision and autism, although experts differ sharply over what to make of it"
"All we can say at this point is that there is a statistical association between circumcision and autism," study co-author Dr. Morten Frisch"
"We cannot say whether it is a causal association or some spurious non-causal link for which we currently don't have an explanation"
"If circumcision really did cause autism, Diekema said, one would expect the rates of autism to have fallen in recent decades along with circumcision rates. "In fact," he said in the email, "we have seen just the opposite."
"They raise questions for further study, but do not provide answers... Correlation does not imply or prove causation."
I'm anti routine circumcision myself as well but people like you putting out bogus stuff like this just weakens the argument. All you have to say is it's wrong because of body autonomy and lack of consent. There's literally NO argument against that! But you go and post garbage like this and the people who defend circumcision easily find holes in it and it just makes them feel more right in their position. You're effectively GIVING them the proverbial leg to stand on on a silver platter. Read your articles more carefully and do your research.
