How to deal with misinformation on social media?

Circumcision has been in the news in my country recently due to reports of illegal rituals (https://vrtnws.be/p.kQmKmdZWA). This has sparked a public debate on the ethics of infant circumcision. I was glad to see reports mentioning that medical necessity is rare, as that was the excuse used in my own case.

Religious groups are claiming antisemitism, despite the fact that many are simply asking for the ritual to be replaced with a Brit Shalom. Every time a major newspaper releases an opinion piece on this, they share it on their Instagram page. Even when these outlets support a ban on MGM, they still use the term "circumcision" and mangle the facts. It is a step in the right direction, but the allies are still missing the mark and underselling the harm.

What really gets me are the comments sections on those Instagram posts. Even in a country that is ~80% intact, I’m shocked to see some people call the foreskin a "useless flap of skin" and reciting the same old debunked myths. It is exhausting to see people smugly saying "do your research" when they couldn't be more wrong.

I’m struggling with how to approach this. I want to share my own experience to counter the "I've never heard a man complain" narrative, but I hate the idea of exposing my trauma to people who are clearly too deep in their bias to change. I’m sitting on mountains of evidence, but trying to fit it into an Instagram comment feels like trying to pour the ocean into a tea cup.

I feel a responsibility to speak up, but I’m worried about being eaten alive like others I’ve seen. I am highly emotional and still traumatized by what happened to me. How do I provide a counterweight without coming off too strong or destroying my own mental health? I’m not sure if I have the strength to engage, but someone has to.

Any advice would be appreciated.
