So I was circumcised as a baby and I personally don't mind that my parents did that. BUT isn't it similar to giving children hormone blockers (obviously not as extreme, but the principle). To my understanding the surgery is purely cosmetic and causes the nerve endings to be destroyed making sex less pleasurable. Do you guys support parents circumcising their children? Is it ethically wrong to make that decision for a child?

because parents are making a choice to mutilate their child's genitals. how is that not just a less extreme version of hormone blockers?
Hormone blockers change the level of hormones in your body which results in weaker bones, connective tissues and ligaments. They actual negative consequences that could be fatal. Surgically removing a flap of skin doesn't. How are those comparable?
