As someone who has observed tongue tie release procedures for babies AND assisted with circumcisions as a nurse AND had a tongue tie release procedure myself as an adult, it makes literally no sense for people to be on board with mass circumcisions for cosmetic reasons and be against tongue tie releases. There is clearly either a disconnect of education/information or they feel they are losing control and it is a power grab.
It’s nonsense that it’s profit driven - as if in the US any aspect of healthcare isnt somewhat profit motivated anyway... why are paediatricians exempt from such scrutiny? That aside, we obviously have a nationalised healthcare system here in the UK, and midwives frequently refer babies with tongue tie to get revisions made by doctors.

Def scared of losing control
