Now to address your situation, I am sure there are times when later on parents realize that for reasons they could never have seen coming, it would have been better to take a different path than the one they chose at the time. And that seems to be the case with your parents. But I'm sure it never crossed their minds at the time that you'd want to get sex reassignment surgery or that no foreskin could make it harder to do this. Just as I'm sure the parents of old men who end up having urinary infections all the time and have to go through a circumcision on their fully grown penises, also never saw coming that their decision not to circumcise may not have been the best one for that particular son. Parents do what they think is best for their children. Sometimes it works out for the better, and sometimes it doesn't. But that's the case with all things. When it comes to circumcision, I think parents should have the legal right to do what they truly think will be best and most beneficial for their sons.
So it's okay, even if later circumstances from the irreversible procedure make things worse? The problem with giving parents the choice here is that they cannot possibly predict how this will affect their child later on. Of course they didn't know. I don't blame my parents for this at all. I am mad because they were given the choice.
For your benefit, I hope this kind of choice for your children never comes back on you.
I don't believe you. Get over it.
