some people don't understand that certain disabilities can't simply be overcome with effort. For example, I have AD/HD. I can't pay attention properly, because my mind does not focus on things like others' do. since people can't see my disability, they seem to mistake "can't" for "don't" and simply tell me to try harder.

But my brain doesn't work like theirs, so they don't seem to realize that their suggestion is no different than putting a man in a wheelchair in front of stairs and telling him to try harder. People just don't seem to understand how some disabilities work.

it's odd how many people tell other to just "get over" any psychological issue. odd, because it never occurs to these folks that if this were possible, psychiatrists would not exist.

recurring infections are generally caused by washign poorly (ie harsh soaps and such.) The only reason any male will absolutley need to be circumcised is for phimosis, which 0.6% of males will ever actually have, and of those few, 85% can be treated with a steroid cream.

FYI, there is a charity formed to fund foreskin regeneration that has been making good progress.
