Your appeal to normalcy is still ignorant. Pretty much the same as the religious appeal to belief in gods because most people do. That you don't see that is telling.
Most people circumcise for social reasons, you can argue the morality of that all you want but it doesn't change the fact that social norms are the main reasons for circumcision. Social norms play a huge part in the decision making process, so I won't act like the people who choose circumcision are just barbarically slicing up their children without reason.
I really do question a parent who would prioritize social norms over their child...
