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?

im not making the hormone blocker to boost my argument I am using it to ask about how you can be philosophically consistent if hormone blockers and circumcision both irreversibly effect that child's life (obviously to different extents). why is one decision okay to make while the other isn't?
