Let me remind you of something that should stop everyone in their tracks:

Circumcision videos are classified as NSFL/ Not Safe For Life.

They are considered gore. The kind of content that platforms warn you about. The kind of thing that can traumatize you just by watching.

Just think about that for a second.

What does NSFL mean?

It means content that is not just disturbing. It’s potentially life-altering in how it affects your psyche.

People use “NSFL” to tag videos of torture, war crimes, fatal accidents, suicides and you guess it, circumcisions.

Because that’s what it looks like.

Because that’s what it is.

It’s not just uncomfortable, it’s unbearable

For victims, watching a circumcision can trigger rage, grief, and breakdowns. It can open emotional wounds people have spent years trying to survive.

It can feel like watching your own abuse, on replay.

And yet…

We live in a culture where doctors smile and call it “routine.”

As exampled here. Clinician smiles and jokes as she wheels child off to be butchered.

Where parents post baby photos the day after the cutting.

Where the media ignores.

Where you’re told it’s “no big deal.”

If watching it can traumatize you, what do you think living through it does?

We’re told there’s “no harm.”

That it’s “just skin.”

That “he won’t remember.”

That “you’re overreacting.”

But the body remembers.

The nervous system remembers.

And your mind eventually catches up, sometimes in ways that hurt too much to explain.

This isn’t a routine. It’s violence.

If you can’t even watch it without warning labels and emotional damage

don’t you dare tell us there’s no trauma in doing it.

If you need to hide the truth to defend your beliefs,

maybe your beliefs are indefensible.

Circumcision is NSFL.

Because it’s not medicine.

It’s not tradition.

It’s abuse.
