    There’s health benefits to removing the appendix and tonsils too - so why isn’t it done wholesale on every kid born?

    Because it’s fucking barbaric chopping bits of you up without necessity.

    On top of that as science has progressed - guess what? They think both the tonsils and appendix have a purpose. They’re important for immunity.

    But there was never a fucking doubt that the foreskin has a purpose in human beings. So the removal of it for “health benefits” really is scraping the fucking barrel.

      No. It’s not done because it’s invasive surgery. Like, are you for real?

      Ask anyone who had their appendix rupture if they wish it could have been removed while they were barely aware of the world and had nothing else going on in their life.
