I did absolutely not circumsize my baby boys.
I am cut and wish I weren't. I still remember the trauma I felt when I overheard my parents talking about having my younger brother's done. I was in shock that they had inflicted something like this on me and I had no say. Needless to say this attitude has not changed since that first moment till now.
The whole "why am I different from Dad ?" argument never flys with me either. Kids ask that about all sorts of things. "Why is my skin white/black?", Why am I taller/shorter than the other kids?",etc. I feel comfortable telling my boys all about circumcision when they ask, talking about it seems like no big deal.
