It is summertime once more and "operation tule" is "in" again. "Tule" is a Tagalog word for circumcision.
It is during this time when young boys go and see their local doctor and have their foreskin (prepuce) cut.
In the Philippines, it has already become a ritual and has gone to the point that children and adults would make fun of a child if he is known to be "supot" or uncircumcised.
Going straight to the point, I am against this practice.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Nothing to fix here, ain't it? I mean, if there's nothing wrong with my penis, why mess with it?
Many of us in this country were never even given the chance to decide on this. And that we even had to undergo some form of pain so in order for society to accept us, lest we have to suffer and be ridiculed.
Thinking more about it, this is just another form of human mutilation. You can call it by any name, but for me, it's human mutilation and must be STOPPED plus the fact that I was robbed of my nerve endings when they cut a piece of my penis away.
If you are a parent, how do you feel subjecting your child to pain over something that is not even necessary? Think about it.
