Parents can only consent for necessary surgery, this is cosmetic pure and simple.
Parents provide consent for all surgeries involving their child. Yes, this is cosmetic, but the parents still provide consent for the child. Circumcision isn't necessary, but as far as I can tell there is no CONCRETE evidence that it causes any harm to the child.
Circumcision is the ischemic necrosis death of part of the penis, deliberate iatrogenic injury in 100% of cases. Cosmetic surgery on a baby's penis is sick pedophilia and will be banned.
I assume you would then be in favour of parents consenting to have their daughters circumcised?
I'm not informed on female circumcision, depends on if it has any actual negative effects on the girl. Again, I don't agree with circumcision, but I'm indifferent on it because, in my eyes, it makes no real difference in the child's life
Elevated levels of the stress hormone cortisol are found in the brains of circumcised infants up to six months after the procedure. Prolonged, elevated levels of cortisol are currently believed to cause brain damage, such as is seen in abuse victims.
Well I'm pretty sure I don't have brain damage from having some skin cut off as a baby
Maybe not. I do know that the decision to cut off a part of your body should have been left for you to make.
Have enough respect for yourself to call a spade a spade, you sound sexist af. Seriously don’t you dare tell me about what I have been through and how to cope I dont give a shit how you cope I was raped mutilated and that is defined as having my foreskin taken away by force.

How the heck do I sound sexist? I was circumcised as an infant and it hasn't affected me at all. Sorry that it has affected you so adversely, but I have experienced no such effects. And again, the parents consent on behalf of the child, just like all surgeries.
It's not like any other type of surgeries tho. This one is not needed by any stretch of the mind unless there's a real threat to the boy's health (which is rare). The only reasons I see are : uneducated parents or parents prefering circumcised penis (sickos).
