Was just talking at dinner with family, and it seems a logical action to ban circumcision, as in most cases, doesn’t have consent, and is a major (genitals are important) body modification. Can we ban it at the state level? Just a thought.

    Even at 5 to 7 ( and to teenage years) there are stretching exercises that can be done to loosen the foreskin and completely make the surgery unnecessary (and yes there are rare cases where that doesn’t help and surgery is the last resort). I would still say you didn’t have consent at 5 or 6. Sorry to hear you got mutilated

      I don’t got mutilated😅 I just talked to my Mom and asked about this, and she had a long consult with our Doctor and a Surgeon beforehand. It was a simple decision my parents had to make because I was not able to do so. Like thousands of other things, they decided for me until it was possible to decide for myself. And I in this case I had chronic Infections so waiting was not an option. Don’t get weird on me,bruh.
