Given the hullabaloo over gender affirming care, I am wondering why circumcision is still legal. Parents, without consulting the child, can permenantly disfigure a boy’s penis. It is a part of Jewish and Muslim custom yes, but this assumes that the boy will continue in the parent’s religion. Shouldn’t they have to wait until the child is 18 and can make the decision for himself? Some non-religious parents have the procedure done for aesthetic reasons. Again, shouldn’t the parents wait until the child is able to make this decision for himself? There some potentially minor medical benefits to circumcision but are they sufficient to allow circumcision? It seems to me that there is no legitimate reason for allowing this procedure on an infant, so why is it still legal?
