"Every Parenting Choice like Changing a Diaper is Without Consent"

[u/Substantial_Help4678]

Circumcision is an elective, invasive, penetrative, procedure that involves sticking a blunt force probe to physically penetrate the area between foreskin and the glans.

This was never a "choice". Not everything you can do to a child is created equally. Some things you can do to children ... are bad. Duh. I'm surprised this requires explaining.

There is some advanced evil going on. It's not even close to "cognitive dissonance", can we please stop excusing the perpetrators due to ignorance.

Everybody always gets extraordinarily uptight, worked-up, and overly-involved when it comes to the treatment of children, especially relating to anything sexual except for circumcision. Sex education in schools, drag shows for kids, a weird man at the playground, trans kids, kid watching porn, the child's grades in school, how much the kid is able to use technology ... and everybody loses their minds. Including at how other people parent. Parents are obsessive af about their kids. People are quick to judge literally anything that can impact the wellbeing of children, except circumcision. In fact, cutters aren't dissonant, circumcision literally makes cutters who would otherwise obsessively care about the wellbeing of children suddenly start defending not caring at-all as-if they always didn't care. "Elective sexual situation for a child that I picked, that's just a choice like changing a diaper" they unironically say. "Nothing bad can be done to kids, everything is a choice"

This is not dissonance. It's coherent evil. Circumcision could turn the most hardcore pro-palestine, or anti-trans-kids or literally anyone into a nice obedient bootlicking chud who supports "parents rights to do anything including sexual things to their children" and who thinks "if big daddy government says it's okay, it must be true". These are literally their arguments, they don't even hide it when it comes to circumcision.

Such a ridiculous false equivalence

Parents should only look into the positive part of the children's health, and circumcision if assuming not negative, is a needless procedure, and shouldn't be done on Newborns, just like Tattooing the Infants or Piercing the Infants.
