i get "triggered" when people equate the common and innocuous practice of circumcision with actual genital mutilation, which is a barbaric and oppressive practice with absolutely no justification, because lumping the two together does nothing but downplay and trivialize the brutalities of real genital mutilation.

I will agree that they are not to the same severity. However, outside very rare medical need, there's no good justification for circing a child either. There is nothing wrong with people who have had it done to them. Nobody should ever be made to feel bad about it. But I will always contend that forcing it on others is wrong.
