Ok, but let’s explicitly allow human ear clipping … so we can have pointy elf ears.

    Sure the difference here is the ability to consent

    Then why is circumcision not allowed? Is it ecause they're mostly done to kids?

    Pretty sure most people are only against circumcision for infants who do not consent. No one is talking about those with a medical need.

    I get surgically removed foreskins every day at my work, but they are elective procedures by those who can consent for a relatively "common" condition called phimosis.

    Oh, I would never get in the way of that! I think the cutoff should be when the entity getting their ears clipped can/can't give explicit consent.
