This is just the tip of the problem.

Male circumcision does have some health benefits (reduction of penile cancer, I believe). There’s no justification for female circumcision, though. Maybe in the modern unisex world of one fits all, the judge is commingling the two procedures.

What a joke. Penile cancers are extremely rare and connected to HPV infection. There are HPV vaccinations approved for boys now. Now you'll come back and say oh but it reduces HIV transmission in sub-Sahara Africa as if there's no behavioral alternative.

There's no justification for circumcision except in the most unusual medical cases.
