It’s funny the things religion makes one do. My husband and I have a 16-month-old. We’re both from left-wing, secular, Israeli (in my case half Israeli and half South African) families and were raised to be anti-religion yet being Jewish is the most important aspect of who we are and who our families are. I am morally basically opposed to circumcision in any form (although I feel better about an adult making the decision for themselves than I do forcing it upon a child) yet the combination of our respective families influencing us and thinking of the potential social stigma my son would eventually face as a male in Israel trying to navigate sexual relationships in adolescence and the potential embarrassment he would feel to be “different” and to be teased or not wanted by whatever gender he finds himself attracted to (especially if he is a straight male in adolescence/adulthood because I reckon straight Jewish Israeli women would be most likely to opt out of a sexual relationship due to lack of circumcision).

Yeah I understand the reasoning behind it and that you would be afraid of possible future discrimination or judgement he could encounter. It is so wrong that this practice remained.

Seriously. It’s one of those things that I’ve lost a decent amount of sleep over. I didn’t arrange the brit. I was so traumatized after giving birth and to then circumcise him at only 8 days old…I was like still totally checked out mentally, I wasn’t in a place to consent to it, let alone him (my son). My in-laws arranged everything. Had a doctor who is also a mohel come to our flat. It was just our immediate family there but I just recall going into the bedroom with the mohel, my son, and my husband and my husband and I were both total despondent. Well I was despondent, he was filled with anxiety and guilt.

Yeah don't blame yourself much for that, I imagine 8 days after giving birth is a rough time to advocate against cultural norms.
