The idea of how unnecessary genital mutilation are still legal in so many place always shocks me. And how adults don't teach boys about their privacy and do not respect gender differences as long as you're a man. I grew up in a place that you have no say on puberty body check yearly where you don't get to choose doctor's gender if you're a boy. And they do not require an accompanying adult, if you have they do not care what gender or who. But if you're a girl, you only got paired with female doctor, must come with same gender accompanying adult that is your legal guidance in the record.

Embarrassing and disappointing.

In 2012 a German court ruled that circumcision for religious reasons was illegal under assault laws. Soo after, the German parliament made a law explicitly giving circumcision a pass, making it legal.

See https://openjur.de/u/433915.html (in German)

Translated Summary: A religiously motivated circumcision of the foreskin of a male infant is a bodily injury pursuant to Section 223 para. 1 StGB, even with the consent of the child's parents.

Is it a step in the right direction?

Cutting natural body off is somehow not mutilation.🤣

Circumcision among men is a complicated issue. Not only is the gender split based on what parents selected but there is that religious element. Two major religions practice it and laws cant be written to target them as the freedom of religion. As a Christian man,I dont think a future son of mine would mind that he's unsnipped and it's easier for me to explain it. It's not my place to parent others and it's something the Jewish and Muslim people have to address among themselves. There needs to be safety regulations but it can't be over reaching with freedom of religion. I know it sucks but it's a pillar of democracy.
