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.

    Preventing religious people from circumcising their kids would violate their religious liberties in the US.

    Mostly though, nobody cares.

    Unless you’re talking about “female circumcision” which is a totally different and way more horrific thing.

        Not even on the same scale. Female circumcision is the complete removal of the clitoris and large portions of the labia. It is usually done to teens, carried out via acid, and without anesthesia.

        A circumcised dick at least still works fine, and you don’t remember it if it’s done when you’re an infant.

          there are several different levels of female genital mutilation, one of which removes the clitoral hood and is quite similar to a male circumcision. both are fucked

      Your liberty ends where another person’s starts. They shouldn’t be able to violate their kid’s body autonomy with their own religious beliefs. If the child grows up and makes the decision themselves they should be able to get cut at that point.
