If we can ban trans medical procedures, why haven't we banned circumcision?
Was just talking at dinner with family, and it seems a logical action to ban circumcision, as in most cases, doesn't have consent, and is a major (genitals are important) body modification. Can we ban it at the state level? Just a thought.

I never had not have ever heard of anyone I know having infections or cancers because of a foreskin.
I mean it does reduce the risk of penile cancer (for basically the same reason a mastectomy reduces the risk of breast cancer - less cells means less cells that can turn cancerous), but penile cancer is one of the more rare ones to begin with and the reduction is pretty small.
Technically, you can't get foreskin cancer if you don't have foreskin. Not sure if that is an acceptable reason to cut off part of a non-consenting infant's genitals.
The vast vast vast majority of the worlds men have foreskins though.

Some studies have suggested that circumcision may help prevent penile cancer.

Decreased risk of urinary tract infections.
Decreased risk of penile cancer.
Decreased risk of sexually transmitted infections
Suggested. "However, this is unverified"
Okay mate.
Suggested is my phrasing. The studies are pretty conclusive.

The first link says it's unverified, and also says "suggest", not your phrasing.
Did you read the study?
You're not on your home turf anymore. Even fewer people put up with your shit here.
Nah I get it. People don’t like science.
People don't like you or your ideals.
My ideas are cited science and facts. Go troll someone else.
You prioritize rules and fake news over common decency and humanity and call it science.
Since you consider mayo and medical journals fake news. I’m blocking you.
You can't hide from the truth.
From the last link:
"In contrast, there was some evidence that circumcision in adulthood was associated with an increased risk of invasive penile cancer"
Yeah, great.
Why should I read a whole study? It says it at the start so I don't need to. Abstracts exist for a reason.
