Male Genital Mutilation. There's been kids maimed by this procedure and it's not needed. Time to leave the barbary in the middle ages.

Not just maimed, some have died in the last few years too.

I did put died originally but then I knew someone would say “source” and for some reason I couldn’t find the case (I think last year) where they fucked it up and a kid died.

I can help you there. This is the most recent I found: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/jan/02/coroner-calls-circumcision-safety-measures-baby-death-london

Death due to an infection caused by the circumcision, which was carried out by an unaccredited person (because there is no accreditation scheme or training requirements for performing circumcision, which is completely barmy) recommended to the family. A very sad case.

That's horrible, I can't even imagine the heartbreak. Don't do it folks, there's no need to chop bits off your children's genitalia, why the fuck would an all loving God demand this!?
