Persons who have lost body parts must grieve their loss of function [24]. Failure to grieve... results in a cohort of men who are in denial about their loss. Traumatized persons tend to reenact and repeat their trauma [25]. The compulsion to repeat the trauma and the emotional need to deny the loss results in a large cohort of circumcised men who seek to perpetuate the practice of... circumcision. Such men become the ‘adamant fathers’ who insist on circumcising their sons...

My Paraphrase of the Original Source 

Author George Hill claims that the loss of function acquainted with circumcision is a considerable source of grief to the male gender. Failure to recognize this grief results in the abundance of men (doctors and fathers alike) who preserve the source of their denied trauma. Thus, they are unconsciously compelled to reduce their sons to the same deprival of this bodily function, producing the society of supporters of circumcision.  

My Summary of the Original Source

Author George Hill accuses the perpetrators of circumcision of victimizing their patients and sons as a result of the grief and trauma related to their own deprivation.
