  I recently learned that, while a sibling is uncircumcised, the hospital still charged for a circumcision. Our mom apparently called to dispute the charge and, though this was well before I was born so I can’t vouch for its veracity, eventually convinced the hospital to yield by saying “no, you didn’t circumcise him and I’ve got the foreskin here to prove it!”

    The hospital did this with my son, too.

    I’d already told them before he was born we weren’t having them circumcised, but a nurse showed up the morning after to take him, and I’m glad I was awake, because they weren’t going to ask me. I groggily asked ‘where are you taking him?’ as she was walking away (I figured it was for blood work), and she said, ‘oh, you’re up? For his circumcision’. ‘No, no, we’re not doing that.’ She put him back in the crib.

    They just assumed, and then it showed up on my bill. Took months to get the charge removed.

    I’m not religious, and we don’t need to routinely mutilate baby penises, thanks.

    It is absolutely barbaric that this is “standard” in the US, particularly because some religious looney tune was obsessed with children’s masturbation. I don’t care if an adult of “sound mind” chooses to make alterations to their body, but it certainly should not be allowed on children, let alone infants.

  • What did you do with my foreskin?
  • Excuse me, but I do not really think it’s an appropriate thing to ask, after a flu shot… maam.

  Refuse a drug test? Lol in America they just do it without your consent.
