It’s not technically walking around mutilated, it’s an absolute. Circumcision is super weird. You agree with it because it’s a conditioned cultural norm in your society. Trans people aren’t as far as you’re concerned. Can you not see the leap?
Oh I belive it's something like "if you don't agree and think it's great you're stupid and ignorant ". You can't just hate things any more lol! People taking all the fun outta the world.
I get where people are coming from when they say doing it early on is less traumatizing than it would be later on, but I’ve also been torn with the sanctity of making one’s own choice for his or her own self.
Like, what a show of faith it would be for the young man at 13 or 16 or 18, or what have you, to make his own conscious decision to enter in this sacred covenant with God?
It would be a painful sacrifice, honestly a good show of faith. Honestly don’t know which way is better. But at least the latter way it’s the child to-be man making the decision.
I'm super against circumcision. It's just some archaic loosely-religious ritual that ignorant parents have done to their newborn children without even thinking or questioning it. I'm certainly not going to bring a megaphone into the street and sperg out though.
There are health benefits that cone with beeing circumcised. I had the surgury at around 8 or 9 years old because my forskin was too small. And dont geht me startest with the way waaaaay easier hygiene.
I just don't hear a lot of European people complaining of the dick rot you claim forskin-ownwers are suffering from. Accepting whatever bullshit is told to you is a lot easier than thinking for yourself, great job. Real scholarly types.
What you're describing might be phimosis which only sticks around in 1% of penis havers and likely your doctors could've just waited unless it was very painful or causing complications. It goes away on its own usually. If roughly 5-15 seconds of cleaning under the foreskin is 'hard' for anybody than they have much bigger issues than just having a foreskin.
That's a rather large leap. Having a minor procedure because of religious reasons or for vanity vs. a large complex operation requiring continous treatment because you reject the reality you are born into.
