The downsides are not minor, we have either people's autonomy being taken away and then being shamed if they object to it or people who aren't circumcised being told they're repulsive because their penis looking like it naturally does is wrong and something their partners have a right to demand be altered. Whether you personally do those things or not, they happen entirely because of nonconsensual circumcisions. I didn't read all of the 400 posts before I entered the conversation, but I saw nothing proving their were non-microscopic benefits from unbiased sources, feel free to repost the best ones if you think there are.

I dont know how to make it clear to you that I dont believe autonomy being taken away is a downside. Babies entire life is having their autonomy taken away. In fact, babies dont HAVE any autonomy to take away. As humans, we do not get to choose every single thing they ever happens to us, including literally every single medical thing before the age of 18. Trust me, if I could have chosen to not have the dentist pull my tooth out without anesthetic as a kid, I would have.

Welcome to childcare, welcome to pediatric medicine. I dont care. That is literally a parents job. Someone can be upset their parent made that choice as an adult; welcome to having parents. You can also get phimosis and hate your parents for not getting you circumcised, but I dont see you making a case for preventing that outcome thats probably equally as rare. Most people dont feel that strongly about it.

Peopel being shamed for not being circumcised is a different issue that needs to be solved on its own, and never circumcise anyone is maybe the most ridiculous solution. Literally nobody is saying partners have a right to demand their dicks be altered to look better.

I am not going to post the sources I already posted again because you cant be bothered.
