genital mutilation, aka "circumcision"
@vantablack Agreed. Only a consenting adult should be able to choose to have parts of their genitals cut off. Male, female, and intersex children should be protected from genital cutting without their consent. Everyone deserves autonomy over their own body.
I was circumcised as an infant, and my skin was cut so tight that I wasn't left with enough skin to accommodate an erection fully when puberty started. Erections were painful, and my skin would sometimes tear and bleed. You don't know how someone will grow and develop when you are cutting them as an infant, on top of them not being able to consent to it.
A recent study found that 11.5% of the infant circumcisions in the US they tracked for two years were botched in some way: http://spuonline.org/abstracts/2018/P21.cgi?fbclid=IwAR2i6ihhKEzPTXABDkJbJ67nVKQZ3cWsc9gMmicPtvsSgxLymKxClMhoyXQ
