    I got it done as an adult for medical reasons. I stand fully behind everything you said. But: I don’t have any scar whatsoever

      Getting it done as an adult is fine. You consented. I’m also fine with piercings or tattoos on adults but not on babies for the same reason. Though that’s a bit of a false equivalence as genital mutilation is more dangerous and less reversible than those other two, so I guess I find them less objectionable, though still fucked up.

      Getting it done out of medical necessity is also fine, for pretty obvious reasons.

      Forcing it upon a baby for no reason isn’t.
