And I think that's great. I would like to see all boys be given the right to choose for themselves regarding circumcision.

I mean, it's really NOT "just an extra flap of skin". It's not extra anything! If it was extra then it would be abnormal for boys to be born with a foreskin. It's not a tumor. It's not a skintag. It's not a fucking 6th toe. It's a natural occurring bodypart, and I think that the owner of said bodypart should get to decide for themself what to do with it.

I don't think that the human body is just born with random parts that are unseemly and without purpose. If the foreskin had no use it would have evolved out by now. The foreskin protects the penis. Unprotected penises chafe. Unprotected penises get desensitized to some degree. If I had a penis I would not want it to be unprotected.
