I don't care if you've argued this a million times, non-surgical intervention and education about appropriate cleanliness exists. There's no excuse for an amputative surgery performed on any infant, without medical necessity.

That’s not the argument, I agree that surgeries shouldn’t be undertaken without necessity and you’ll see me repeat that throughout this thread. I originally started my argument against a total circumcision ban and presented multiple medical reasons for circumcision.

You are equating "medical reason" with "necessity", and they are not. Amputation may only occur out of absolute necessity.

So you disagree with your earlier statement that you want a total circumcision ban?

I want a blanket ban identical to the FGM law.

That’s a total ban. It’s always prohibited. I can’t even name one exceptional case. I can actually quote you saying you don’t just want it to be illegal to circumcise without reason, you wanted circumcision banned.

I want the exact standard layed out in the FGM law. You can operate on a girl's genitals to save a life, but you better be prepared to defend every individual action the govermemt and the medical licensing board. And they still don't conceptualize it as circumcision.

Okay, no, it’s always illegal and there hasn’t been one exceptional case ever that I can find. You can’t operate on a girls genitals to “save a life” because there’s never been reason to, even if they consent. You’re just making up laws now.

When do you "operate on a boys genitals to save their life"? Especially an infant boy?

Because the infections that affect males can severely damage their immune system, thus threatening their life.

And which infections afflict infant boys? I'm guessing none of them require surgery. Circumcision is not required, since non-surgical options exist. Stop rationalizing a gross breach of autonomy. Especially one that we recognize as horrific, when done to infant girls.
