Untrue.
One kind-of sensible justification for traditional male circumcision is for nomadic dessert people with poor static hygiene (Middle East,Africa, Australia)
I'm aware of no justification for the circumcision of a modern urbanite.
Yes, I'm circumcised.This was routinely done in most Australian hospitals when I was born; mum was told,not asked.
To be honest,it's not something which has ever bothered me.No point; it's not as I can do anything about it.
HOWEVER, I consider the practice cruel, unnecessary and unjustifiable. In some societies it is still done at puberty and children still die*. I could not care less about the personal superstitions of the idiot parents.
