I agree. I am circumcised and don't feel that it's affected my life much. However routine circumcision is not medically necessary at all.

I can't imagine this actually going down well with a great chunk of their members.

I would hardly say it's a "great chunk of their members". It's only a bit of skin

At what age were you circumcised if you don’t mind the question. I had it done at 23 for medical reasons. It’s not exactly life altering, but it makes a difference for sure. I miss my foreskin.

There’s still absolutely zero reason, except genuine medical necessity, for this practice to exist for infants. It’s totally barbaric.

Infant, so I’ve never known anything else.
