You point out that it's done to millions of men worldwide, they had the choice though, as there are non-surgical methods to deal with tight and non-retractable foreskins, but some of those people just want a fast and quick solution, no patience, others are pressured into it, and some of those who were suffered as a result. I'll point you to this article on a young man who took his own life because he had been ill-informed and pressured by an impatient doctor:
Why did a young man kill himself two years after being circumcised?
www.bbc.co.uk
Ways to deal with improperly functioning foreskin? Manual manipulation to separate it, steroid creams to expand the skin, "exercising" the skin, etc., plenty of other options too, if it's infected, antibiotics tend to help, granted they're thrown around like halloween treats these days, but used appropriately, they work. The claim that the skin passes on infections, that's down to its' keeper, if he chooses to be the proud owner of itch-tainted knobcheese, then frankly he should have the whole unit removed, not just the skin, there's no good reason for being a typhoid mary after all...
But that aside, I stated that it was done to millions of children, those who have no choice, whose parents are the ones who are convinced to have it done. As I've said, I don't know why I was done, no mention of infection, tightness, stuck (but at the age of 4, the majority of members are still "stuck together" and have yet to naturally separate, given they're still underdeveloped and all!), etc., thankfully in this country such surgeries are now restricted to "absolutely necessary only", but was too late for the likes of myself. As for after-care, that's something that was a part of the trauma, peeing with a painful wound full of stitches, agonising, bathing in saline to keep the wounds clean, agonising, the feeling of those stitches being caught on clothing, agonising, the sensations from the glans that was now exposed, well, how the hell was I meant to know how to respond to that as a 4 year old? These are things that stick in memory for a lifetime, granted there are far worse things, but these are the memories I have, and I have to live with...
But I will continue to state that the trauma I went through as a child is something no child should ever go through, the lies I recall prior to the op (topical anaesthetic cream where they would stick a drip into my hand, they called "New skin!", the application of the general anaesthetic, a game called "Blow up the balloon!", the laughable terming it as my "new willy!", etc.) that they had to tell because I was a child, the subsequent years of it being something I'm embarrassed about, ashamed of and upset by, all through no fault of my own, to dismiss that as "prejudice", that's just pure ignorance...
Interesting to be referred to as an SJW though, somebody who points out the negatives of something, instantly an SJW, funny that.......
