When you feel uncomfortable, that is not a sign you’re doing something negative. I’ve chosen to break MANY cultural taboos once I thought about and realized they were best broken.

The very thought of not removing the foreskin sends some Americans into a panic. If they look at it logically, they realize both boys and girls should have bodily autonomy.
