It always makes me kind of sad when I meet parents who are thinking about circumcision and I always say "Well, it's the kid's body, why not leave it untouched until he's old enough to decide, then he can do whatever he wants."

It's kind of sad, because that doesn't work on parents, which suggests to me that this is very very very ingrained, because ethically it's a no-brainer.

Leave it on, wait until the boy is 18, and if he wants to cut it off, he can go right ahead.

Was an excellent overview of studies on circumcision sensitivity.

Avoiceformen has also actively worked to oppose circumcision

And so donating to their fundraisng thing would help them do more on opposing circumcision.
