I think maybe you nailed exactly what the fuss is all about.

If no one had ever been circumcised before, and you pitched the idea of infant genital mutilation/modification, do you really believe any proposed benefits could possibly outweigh the revulsion of elective surgery on a baby?

I get it: no one should be judged for whether they are circumcised or not, and I can absolutely forgive people who have circumcised their babies for "normalcy" in the past. But the conversation right now is "what are we even doing here, guys?"
