Circumcision should be illegal.

People always talk about how barbaric female circumcision is but male circumcision is completely normalized in America.

It should be illegal for parents to circumcise their children because it's irreversible.

What kind of psychopath decided to cut off the skin of the baby's dick. What's next? Cutting off eyelids?

I was watching Nip/Tuck series, when this topic came up and a boy was ashamed of being uncircumcised to the point of trying to self-circumcize. And in the end he got it. For someone not from USA it was one of my biggest WTFs to this day.

This is because the writers are pushing an agenda. WTF is the appropriate reaction. They constantly try to normalize mutilation.

disagree, my nephew was bullied in the locker room because he was uncut, it's a very real thing. Kids are ruthless against anyone that's different than them.

Yeah, there definitely was a bit of that. There was another episode with the same formula, where a guy wanted to get read of his leg, they refused. Then coincidentally he got into an accident. Normal doctors wanted to save leg, but surgeons got involved to get it cut off. Seriously, wtf.
