Was just talking at dinner with family, and it seems a logical action to ban circumcision, as in most cases, doesn’t have consent, and is a major (genitals are important) body modification. Can we ban it at the state level? Just a thought.

What. In the 24/48 Hours after Birth is really early.
Mine was done when I was, like 5 or 6. I can clearly remember being put under general anesthesia. And peeing hurt for like 3 days.
But after that? No problem ever. How can there even be a medical reason in the 24/48 Hours after Birth?
EDIT: Mine was done because my foreskin was way too tight. Damn, Now I feel really sorry for you, bro. I thought everyone get this done (if it gets done at all) at the age of 5 to 7. But doing this on a Newborn seems really weird. I wish you and your junk all the best.
When a baby is born, the doctor may ask if you’d like to have your baby circumcised. If this is the case, it happens before they leave the hospital. This is where that time frame comes in. Otherwise, circumcision is “recommended” within the first two weeks after birth.
Here is a medical reason at birth: https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/birthdefects/hypospadias.html
Any medical condition after birth that requires a circumcision, needs to be performed by a doctor who knows exactly what they’re doing. Not every doctor does. So you end up with not-so-great stories shared around.
Edit: You describe the tight foreskin you experienced which is in the second link I provided. It is a medical condition that doesn’t require circumcision. In fact, you could still have your foreskin right now. The condition usually goes away over time. Believe it or not. Circumcision is an easy way out. But one that may cost. And in the case of that individual, it did.
I just asked my Mom because I got curious, and she told me she had a long consult with our Doctor and a Surgeon about this. I was also getting Infections because of the tight foreskin, and this was the best way. I trust my Parents and the German Medical Association.
Skin is an elastic organ. If you start putting on fat, your skin stretches. The foreskin can be stretched with regular motion. Retracting it on a daily basis would encourage it to stretch. Infections occur only when the foreskin isn’t cleaned well. I don’t know your circumstances personally. Teaching you how to keep clean and retracting the skin is a viable method. I’m not discrediting your parents. Just sharing the logic behind why circumcision is not absolutely necessary or should be the first choice. If this was the informed decision they made for you, I’m glad it was successful with no complications. That’s the best possible outcome.
Even at 5 to 7 ( and to teenage years) there are stretching exercises that can be done to loosen the foreskin and completely make the surgery unnecessary (and yes there are rare cases where that doesn’t help and surgery is the last resort). I would still say you didn’t have consent at 5 or 6. Sorry to hear you got mutilated
I don’t got mutilated😅 I just talked to my Mom and asked about this, and she had a long consult with our Doctor and a Surgeon beforehand. It was a simple decision my parents had to make because I was not able to do so. Like thousands of other things, they decided for me until it was possible to decide for myself. And I in this case I had chronic Infections so waiting was not an option. Don’t get weird on me,bruh.
