Was just talking at dinner with family, and it seems a logical action to ban circumcision, as in most cases, doesn’t have consent, and is a major (genitals are important) body modification. Can we ban it at the state level? Just a thought.

Personally I find it a lot more disturbing that intersex babies are still assgined a binary gender by a doctor and then get surgery to shape their genitals. The parents are often scaremongered and pressured into consenting and the affected people don’t know it was done to them until firmly into adulthood. It’s often a sterilising surgery too.
If you are against doctors doing gender changing surgery, please start with the babies? But oh no! Then the argument that there are only two genders falls apart.
Is it still practice? Even when I studied, long time ago, I thought it was rather consensus that it’s gets worse results in the the long run.
It still happens, but I don’t believe it’s as common as it once was (per capita intersex person, which is also a very small number)
Medical progress is sometimes frustrating slow.
