To circumcise or not to circumcise?

We do many things without a minor's consent. I was given bowlcuts as a kid without my consent. I looked atrocious. But it wasn't my call.

None of my brothers are circumcised and neither is my dad, because it's not a thing in our culture either. Personally if I was a dude I'd want my parents to have opted for me to get it done while I was still little and too young to remember or understand what was going on. I imagine a circumcision must be quite traumatic for a grown man to get done.

Nope. I don't think any potential benefits justify it, especially as there are risks too. I wouldn't feel I had the right to make that decision for it.
I do hate kids though so I might still cut off its head. Feel free to send me a private message.

I've seen/done circumcisions when I was in nursing school. It's not a "major surgery" at all lol.

How would you fucking feel if your parents cut off your clitoris because they think it looks more 'aesthetically pleasing'

But when you think about it the religious also circumcise their children's freethinking from a very early age
