There are valid reasons for parents to choose circumcision. I'm not sure religion is a part of that, and I'm not sure that it isn't. For example, if this were female circumcision based strictly on religion or culture, I'd feel very strongly against it, since it's to curb pleasure and often leads to infection, from bodily fluids not being able to exit. However, malformed genetalia can also cause complications.

I'm glad I never had to choose gender assignment or not because children in middle school can be cruel, so can misassignment, and as we see, adults can be cruel too.

I posit perhaps such complicated decisions not be based entirely on religion or cultural identity of the parents alone, since what the child chooses as an adult may be very different than what the parent prefers.
