Circumcision, at or near birth, in a hospital, is not mutilation.
It doesn't have any serious impact on lifestyle or sexual performance, and has some (debatable) health benefits.
Circumcision as it is practiced elsewhere in the world often is mutilation. Particularly some of the Muslim circumcision practices which are horrifying.
