      If my son wants to be cut

      Why the hell would he want to? If there’s no medical reason, there’s no reason at all.

        At that point, he would be an adult making a decision. It doesn’t matter why for us in regards to his choice. Maybe he becomes religious or succumbs to social pressure. He could get a Prince Albert, too, or those weird beads.

        As a parent it’s their job to protect him from harmful societal norms and religious indoctrination until he becomes an adult. Hopefully the education sticks long enough for him to deeply understand and respect his body, to seek out more helpful mentorship when needed, and pass along that education and protection to his future potential children.

        Tell that to the chick who turned herself into Barbie or those twins that did… whatever it was to themselves and thought it looked anything but horrifying.

        Yes, I’m straight up saying they’re objectively ugly af. Don’t even care if that’s some kind of discrimination. They’re just dumb, they made a stupid mistake, and I don’t even think they’ve admitted it to themselves yet.

        They had every right to do it though. It was just a bad idea in every single humanly possible way.

      I’m from muslim family but atheist and have nothing against it. Like, it is just operation that become too popular at some point. Or was forced on people to prevent an epidemy of some sort. It is still recommended across many surgeons at least as far as i know. It is just easier to recover from when you are younger. Similar to recovering from smallpox.

          I am surprised by amount of negativity on this sub. Like it is almost impossible to have a decent conversation. People just go nuts about operation which is about hygiene. Good luck, guys. I just don’t see myself here

            Yeah, why would so many people have negative views on chopping off part of a baby’s body?

            Weird.

            I’m cut, and like it that way. But your position is flawed.

            If you believe in evolution then you can agree that foreskin exists for a biological function, right? It’s not about hygiene, that’s dogma. It’s wild that it’s based in religion originally because if ‘god’ made you in his image it’s pretty fucked up to immediately alter a baby to be different.

            It’s funny when people assign the term ‘negative’ to anything they don’t want to hear about.
            You don’t have to read anything you don’t want to. Move on if you don’t have anything to contribute

              It was originally the Jewish convent with God. Idk why I was sliced, but it became common in the U.S.

                It’s an oddly barbaric tradition to keep around for so long without a religious rationalization. Most circumcised Americans are not Jewish

            If you’re an absolute pig that doesn’t wash his penis, yeah it’s better for hygiene. I have a better solution than chopping of your peepee, though: how about you fucking wash it?

        The smallpox analogy is false. It is a simple procedure as an adult. There is no reason to force it on people who can’t consent.
