      > Non-therapeutic male circumcision is customary in African, Jewish and Muslim traditions and legal in the UK.

      **It should be made illegal.**

      I’m so glad that this is finally getting some attention in the media.

      It’s been one of those “why is nobody talking about this?” things of mine for years.

      Absolutely insane that the surgical butchering of a child’s genitals by any Tom, Dick or Harry is seen as a protected “cultural practice“ in the UK in 2026. And in any other year prior, quite frankly!

      Unless they can somehow justify a muslim only ban, any attempt to ban this will be met by wails of „antisemitism“ from the usuals.

      Completely unnecessary with modern sanitation except for specific medical cases.

      If adults elect to have it done then that’s one thing but I personally find it abhorrent that this is done to infants. Often without anaesthetic.

      Why are what are basically home surgery kits even legal to sell on amazon? Anyone who engages in this should be thrown in prison for child abuse. Don’t care what their religion says, we wouldn’t allow that excuse for any other forms of child abuse.

      Im all for live and let live but as an atheist I do find it odd that people point at a dusty old book and call it justification for chopping bits of their baby’s dicks off.

      Ban it except for medical necessity.

      It’s a sick, disgusting practice that should have been abolished years and years ago.

      Politicians need to grow a backbone and tell these ‘cultures’ that we don’t mutilate children in this country.

      FGM is (quite rightly) considered a horrific, brutal act, how can anyone not see MGM the same way? The fact that this is legal in the 21st century is appalling.

      Kits? Wow!

      Putting general concerns about circumcision aside surely doing them at home should be banned?

      Imagine thinking you know better than evolution. Utterly backwards and should be illegal, an infant can’t consent to being mutilated.

      Thanks for notifying me of this existing

      First one to pass out at the next sesh is in for a wild ride

      I’m as anti-religion as the next person, but maybe we should be looking at Amazon for allowing people to buy and sell these instead of moaning about the people buying them for once

      We’ve made cropping of dogs ears illegal but you can still trim off parts of the male genitalia. Ban it and enforce it.

      This is no different to the slow pushing back of the excesses of Christianity, the power of the Church and resulting culture that needed to take place over centuries in the UK.

      How many grown adults express trauma/regret at being circumcised as infants?

      I hear the arguments that this is child abuse but to my understanding circumcision doesn’t affect the functionality of the body part.

      I’m not defending this(I can’t understand why any religion even requires things like this), but at the same time I’m not feeling moral outrage(at the practice of this traditionally) like plenty of people here seem to be.

      Besides that though it shouldn’t be happening at all without trained specialists performing it in safe and sanitary conditions, especially silly not with DIY home kits(that’s appalling consumerism).

      I’m a guy who is Jewish not overly religious was circumcised as a baby and I can say that if I had not had it done I would have at the first opportunity I could have. All of my friends who are circumcised say the same thing. I was done by a Rabbi who was also a paediatric urologist. In the Jewish community the Mohel (person who does the circumcision) is almost always a Dr by training or is a member of the The Initiation Society.

      As a circumcised Muslim man, I have no problem with my parents choosing to circumcise me as a baby. I did the same for my own son, as many thousands do every year in this country. Yes it’s for religious reasons and that includes maintaining good hygiene – and circumcision helps with that.

      I accept it’s not reversible, say in the event that someone chooses to leave the religion, but I personally have not heard cases of any circumcised Muslim / Jewish men who wish they were not circumcised.
