No one, anywhere (criminally abusive cases aside), defends causing pain to babies because "they won't remember it anyway" in normal circumstances, so leave that out of it. The only actual reason anyone has babies circumcised is because (whether for cultural or cosmetic reasons) they like how it looks better. It creates a completely needless insecurity (whether you are or aren't circumcised) that you are admitting has no reason to exist because no one would actually want to be circumcised as a healthy adult otherwise. If a statistically significant portion of people with penises were born without foreskin I would absolutely say it didn't matter and both should just be accepted, but the context of forcing it on infants is not something I'm okay with.
I wouldnt want to be circumcised as an adult because I dont like pain and Im squicked out by surgery in general. Otherwise Id be all for it because of the benefits, especially if I knew what I know now, I.e my current lived experience. Please stop imposing your view of my thoughts onto me like theyre my thoughts.
