To circumcise or not to circumcise?

[Regina]

Absolutely not. Boy or girl (especially girl).

It's an individual decision. Despite not being religious I actually wouldn't rule it out for myself because of the potential health benefits, but if I was to go ahead and get it done it would be my own choice to do it. I don't necessarily see the "hygeine" argument, wash if you want to be clean, you don't need to cut your foreskin off.

You have to look at it like this; it's not reversible. If you cut your child's genitals and they later decide they don't like what you've done, there's no going back. If you leave your child natural and they later decide that circumcision is for them, well they can still do it. I don't get the rush to do it as children, they can wait until they're of an age to make their own mind up.

I feel very strongly about this. Child circumcision a violation of childrens' rights and it is violence. Children should be left with as much future body agency for when they're adults as possible. No child should be having any operation unless it's specifically to save their life or deal with a major life-limiting illness.
