    There are a small number of complications that can arise, including some that require the procedure to be done later. Obviously this is more traumatic for a teenager than a baby that doesn’t have modesty issues and heals much, much faster.

    But what you do with your kids is up to you. I’m not gonna be there standing over your shoulder.

      There’s a small number of complications that can arise from anything, we don’t use that as an excuse to preemptively perform surgery on babies. The issues that can come from botching genital mutilation far outweigh any “benefits”. People have killed themselves over this

      Any surgery later in life is traumatic. That’s not a good excuse either
