Against religious circumcision
That abomination on dog mutilation has been banned here in Australia also.
Yet circumcision isn't.
"Interesting".

Female circumcision is generally worse for women than male circumcision is for males.
I’m not an advocate for circumcision.
It is way worse, a male getting circumsised still allows them to experience sexual pleasure and though maybe its not necessary in the U.S does seem a common thing to have done.
Female 'circumcision' involves literally cutting their clitoris out so they cannot experience sexual pleasure and they'll be lucky if it doesn't also make sex painful. Also its not necessarily even done in a sterile place its like relatives grabbing the child and holding her down while they amateurly butcher her genitals.
I won't say it is right to circumsize baby boys, maybe it would be better to leave it up to them. But it is not the same thing as female genital mutilation, it doesn't actually remove an organ form the body. Also since the clitoris basically has the purpose to cause an orgasm it means its an organ with a lot of feeling/nerves and things.
So I am not saying people shouldn't fight against circumcision and there aren't good reasons for that. But I do wish people would not try to compare fore-skin removal to cutting out a woman's clitoris because of archaic beliefs women should not be allowed pleasure from sex(I get the impression also a lot of times it is done to girls in adolescence). They aren't the same thing...female genital mutilation would be more akin to just slicing off the whole tip/head of the penis.

*All* genital mutilation is bad.

It does not mean they are the same thing. Idk I figure if circumcision on babies was banned some men once they reach 18 might still choose to have it done. But I don't think any woman is going to willingly get their clit cut out at the age of 18.
I just think one is worse than the other and should not be compared as one and the same.

"Context", my dear woman.
I was referring to babies, not adults.
As I have mentioned, I have no trouble whatsoever if an adult wants to circumcise themselves.

Absolutely. Female GM is much worse.

Male circumcision doesn’t ordinarily cause problems for the child. Female circumcision does, however. I’m unaware of any legitimate basis for religious female circumcisions. The point of male circumcision is ethnic identity. It represent being a part of a holy people set apart for God’s purpose. It is not necessary for a goy to be circumcised. If you want to be part of the Jewish community as a convert, it is required.
I rather like the idea of my boys and I having something special in common that makes us “set apart” similar to how the Jews were. The point of Christianity is salvation through faith, not by works of the law, hence why circumcision is irrelevant. Nevertheless, it’s still a cool idea. Therefore I had my boys cut.
On a baby, the actual wound is minimal. I’ve had paper cuts worse that that. When boys get older and get scraped knees falling off a bike it hurts worse than infant circumcision. The same can’t be said for a fully developed adult penis. Considering that just prior to the exodus certain Hebrews were circumcised with knives made from flint, infant circumcision is vastly more humane.
Parents have the right to do as they like with their own children. Given that male circumcision rarely does actual harm to the child, it is a decision best left up to the parents. If you don’t like infant circumcision, that it your right. Don’t circumcise your own baby. Leave other parents alone to make what they believe is the best decision for their children.

Hate to spoil your fun, but...
Imitating something done by one-point-five people in a thousand may well make you feel unique.
But imitating what one person in four does - does not make you "set apart" so much.
Jews ( little more than one thousandth of the World population) may practice circumcision. But so do Muslims (one forth of the world's population).
Apologies for chopping up your post like this but there are just so many points I wanted to address.

Oh wait...

Perhaps people should only be entitled to make that choice over their own genitals. What your parents prefer is irrelevant, they're not their parts to go mutilating.

WARNING!
An image of "Scarification" on a child is embedded in this post.
God's motives are questionable, imo, if he demands babies should be mutilated.
I think cutting off the baby's ears would make a better show of religious commitment.
Some Muslims also circumcise innocent infants, bwt.
As I said, cutting off children's ears would make a better statement of committment for all to see.
Cutting heads off is a step too far, however.
Ahhh. Vested interest identified.
Are your Christian children Jewish, btw? <disingenuous>
Then you wouldn't have a problem with this either:
If the mods have a problem with this image they can simply delete that rather than the entire post.
So, you are saying that for thousands of years, the practice was barbaric?
The child is your "property".
You can do with them what you want.
Genital mutilation is not the biggest sin in the world, but it is not necessary, especially these days.
Let the child decide for themselves when they have the reasoning facilities.
BTW, didn't god design humanity?
Will he admit he made a mistake when he added the foreskin?
This reminds me of a joke:
Q: What is the useless bit of meat on the end of a penis called?
A: A man.
There is a female version, btw.
