Well, sure, you want to change the law. I can't see the point, myself. There's no harm. Parents are best placed to make those decisions on behalf of the infant children they love and care for.
In which case, you are a cultural relativist and have not a leg to stand on if your own cultural norms change in a way you don't like. Much better to have consistent principles of human rights than to go with the majority view.

I don't think you can say 'cultural relativist' when the culture you are describing is all humanity. What polity in the world outlaws circumcision? It's your position that is eccentric.

The argument 'It's right if the majority thinks it is' is what is culturally (and temporally) relative. It's not a good argument for MGM if you want to argue against this in other areas - eg women's and LGBT rights.
