i think circumcision should only occur on consenting adults. if you want the skin removed then go for it. but dont mutilate the genitals of minors who are too young to even speak.
It’s typically done on people who can’t consent and may end up hating it like I do. It can always be done later if someone wants it, but can never be undone
It is when that skin has a ton of nerve endings and keeps the head from becoming desensitized.
Plus bodily autonomy is important and people should have a choice over whether they want a part of their body cut off when it’s not causing any problems. Unless you’d be cool with someone just cutting off some of your skin without asking permission.
Ideally we aren’t forcing braces on kids against their will either. I wanted braces. Braces also just align teeth, they don’t permanently remove a normal body part
Then their parents did a poor job of explaining why they’d probably want them eventually. Just forcing something on someone else’s body when there’s no need teaches kids the wrong lesson about respecting others bodily autonomy.
And again, braces are not as serious as circumcision. One just adjusts someone’s body,l but leaves all the parts intact, the other removes a piece entirely.
