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.

    It’s not really about the evidence though.

    45 years ago my parents genuinely thought they were doing the right thing by asking the Dr to circumcise me.

    They weren’t great at critical thinking and have made numerous poor decisions in their lives as a result of vibe-based reasoning.

    You can say I was “mutilated” if you like, but I don’t feel like a victim.

    My parents also supported my education, where I learned to be skeptical, and challenge my preconceptions.

    As a result, I didn’t have my son circumcised.
