even if that were true (its not) i shouldn't have to give reasons why my body parts are necessary to save them from being cut off without my consent.

Because if child consent is your actual argument, then vaccination would be bad. But a child consent have no bearings after all.

Again, tell me how similar both situations really are. Did I say that consent should be acquired for every decisions a parent makes ? No, of course not, we're talking about circumcision specifically.

Circumcision risks are very low, with high benefits. Change nothing of tbe sex lives for the males, loses no function, and a safe procedure. So I see no problem in circumcision.

High benefits ? If the benefits were as high, doctors would recommend it as much as vaccines but oh wait, they actually don't recommend circumcision as a medically worthy procedure.

The American Academy of Pediatrics say the benefits are not great enough to recommend it to be done on all new born boys. It comes down to beliefs, religious choices or social constructs (I don't think any of these are good reasons).
