LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

We’ve banned and shunned genital mutilation of girls, and that’s good that should stay banned.

However, I feel that any permanent non medical choices made on someone should be with that individuals consent. Since babies can’t consent then circumcision shouldn’t be allowed on babies.

Plus the reasons for circumcision are kinda stupid:

1. Religion. Why? I don’t get it at all and that’s assuming this baby wants to be in that religion

2. Aesthetics. Do it later on if you must, but overall, a penis is a penis and it’s gonna look the way it does. We go on about body positivity with women’s vaginas and that we have to accept them as is, so…why would this be different?

3. Hygiene. This is literally just a skill issue

The reasons against as well:

1. Unnecessary surgery. Could introduce infections or complications

2. Regret. This can’t be undone and the boy may grow up to despise their penis.

3. Loss in sensitivity. It can be detrimental to sexual pleasure later in life and requires a lot more lube. Why not just leave the penis intact and have max sensitivity?

Am I insane here?

For context I’m uncircumcised and atheist and British.
