‘Every Voice Matters’: A Photovoice Study on the Personal Impacts of Co‐Production in Recovery Colleges
BACKGROUND: The engagement of people with lived experience (PWLE) of mental health and substance use health challenges in the co-production of health services, programming and research has many benefits, but how co-production impacts those involved remains unclear. Recovery Colleges are low-barrier, generally co-produced education programmes focused on mental health and wellness. Designed to support individuals on their personal recovery journeys…
Nontherapeutic Circumcision of Minors as an Ethically Problematic Form of Iatrogenic Injury
Nontherapeutic circumcision (NTC) of male infants and boys is a common but misunderstood form of iatrogenic injury that causes harm by removing functional tissue that has known erogenous, protective, and immunological properties, regardless of whether the surgery generates complications. I argue that the loss of the foreskin itself should be counted, clinically and morally, as a harm in evaluating NTC; that a comparison of benefits and risks is n…

Promoting genital autonomy by exploring commonalities between male, female, intersex, and cosmetic female genital cutting
All forms of genital cutting – female genital cutting (FGC), intersex genital cutting, male genital cutting (MGC), and even cosmetic forms of FGC – are performed in a belief that they will improve the subject’s life. Genital autonomy is a unified principle that children should be protected from genital cutting that is not medically necessary. Safeguarding genital autonomy encompasses helping societies and individuals to explore wounds common acro…
A Rose by Any Other Name? Rethinking the Similarities and Differences between Male and Female Genital Cutting
In this article, we offer a critical examination of the tendency to segregate discussion of surgical alterations to the male and female genitals into separate compartments-the first known as circumcision, the second as genital mutilation. We argue that this fundamental problem of definition underlies the considerable controversy surrounding these procedures when carried out on minors, and that it hinders objective discussion of the alleged benefi…
Male Circumcision: Pain, Trauma and Psychosexual Sequelae
Infant male circumcision continues despite growing questions about its medical justification. As usually performed without analgesia or anaesthetic, circumcision is observably painful. It is likely that genital cutting has physical, sexual and psychological consequences too. Some studies link involuntary male circumcision with a range of negative emotions and even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Some circumcised men have described their cu…
