    It should be the decision of the person whose foreskin is in question. If they’re a minor, should only be allowed if there is medical need. If they’re an adult and aren’t being coerced into it, then so be it, it’s their body. But this shit should not be happening to minors for “ritual” purposes

      Babies can’t ask though? I agree with you in principal, but the world is the way it is. Our medical professionals should not be bombarded with “opinions” and they should give clinical care as needed. Ask someone who got circumcized as an adult how it felt? It’s not much fun. Religion is a voting block with power and they ua e forced mandates. That’s where you need to focus your battle, not getting mad at me online. I don’t have any say on the matter, only an opinion.

          The idea is they don’t use the thing like a young boy does even. That’s it. Not suggesting mutilating babies, just a realist here.

        If the world is shit we need to make it better. If “bombarding medical professionals with opinions” stops them in being accomplices in the mutilatiion of children it makes the world better.

        I’m not mad at you. I’m mad at religion getting a free pass to mutilate children who can’t consent to be mutilated.
