It seems odd to me that it’s not banned outside of medically necessary situations or for when the person has informed consent.

If you tried to get your newborn daughter a labiaplasty so that she would be “more appealing to boys once she’s old enough”, you would rightfully be scolded and kicked out of every respectable medical practice you asked at. It’s fucking gross to be sexualizing a literal newborn like that, and yet I used to regularly see people on Reddit use that as a good reason to circumcise your son.
And any “hygiene” justification is just grasping at straws. Do we cut off people’s ears so they don’t have to spend 30 seconds cleaning them every day? No. Just teach your kids how to clean themselves and it’s a non-issue.
