Sometimes rules need to change. For instance, the Koran and Jihad could be clarified. Christianity and homosexuals. Jews and Shell-fish. There may have been perfectly good reasons for these in their time. However times move on.
Lets say some religion circumcised girls and boys. Would you still think its okay so as not to offend them?
If the person is an adult and consents, then its fine. Like wearing a Hijab.Comment

Why are they so against it? Because it's rooted in religion? Or because it makes them feel squeamish? There's certainly evidence that it can be medically beneficial. If it does more good then harm, then why not? https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...=.f9c0202496bc
“If a vaccine were available that reduced HIV risk by 60 percent, genital herpes risk by 30 percent, and HR-HPV [high-risk human papillomavirus] risk by 35 percent” the authors observe, “the medical community would rally behind the immunization and it would be promoted as a game-changing public health intervention.”Down with racism.
