All of your angst about circumcision can and should be removed completely. There is no reason to cut the genitals of any child.
Lesbian women having children might wish to consult an excellent book, The Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy for Lesbians, by Rachel Pepper. While many books on pregnancy and childcare still take the wishy-washy stance that it's up to the parents to decide, Rachel's advice to protect the child's right to genital integrity is wonderful.
Female Circumcision greatly reduces risk of HIV infection
"Researchers bent on proving that mutilating female circumcision heightens HIV risk in women could not explain away numbers that argued the opposite."
3rd IAS Conference on HIV Pathogenesis and Treatment, July 24-27-05, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Now, a 15-year research project for the International Agency for Research on Cancer has
culminated in convincing evidence that prevalence of HPV infection is reduced in circumcised men.
Xavier Castellsague and colleagues from Spain pooled data on 1,913 couples enrolled in seven case-control studies of cervical carcinoma in situ and cervical cancer in five countries on
three continents - Europe, South America and Asia.
"Just as surely as foreskin clipping seems a safe bet to cut HIV transmission in men, so the various female circumcision types seem certain to lift transmission risk in women."
The men in the study self-reported their own circumcision status and were medically examined
at three of the study sites for the accuracy of their self-reports. Polymerase-chain-reaction assay was used to assess HPV DNA in 1,520 of the men, yielding a valid result for 1,139
(74.9 percent). Penile HPV was found in 166 of the 847 uncircumcised men (19.6 percent )
but in only 16 of the 292 circumcised men (5.5 percent).
Adult Male Circumcision Not Linked To Sexual Dysfunction

A new study has found that adult circumcisions do not lead to sexual difficulties among men who were already sexually active. The study appears in the November 2008 issue of The Journal
of Sexual Medicine the official journal of the International Society for Sexual Medicine.
and the majority of men reported both greater penile sensitivity, and easier use of condoms,"
said lead author John N. Krieger, M.D., of the University of Washington.
The results also showed no significant difference in the frequency of erectile dysfunction, inability to ejaculate, pain during intercourse or lack of pleasure during intercourse. Circumcised men also had progressively higher rates of sexual satisfaction over time.
So many women rejoice when they have girls. It's because they don't want to make the circumcision decision. That decision should belong to the owner of the penis, the man the baby becomes. A man can always choose circumcision for himself if that's what he wants. He can never get his foreskin back.
Does a mother really care what her son's penis looks like? Intact penises are the natural ones. ALL children deserve genital integrity.
