Basically, I feel like my parents are trying to sort of pressure me into getting circumcised next year. It makes me feel kind of anxious for 2022.
Basically on FB, my mum found out that her friend's son got circumcised, she was happy to hear that and decided to call her friend and when she was speaking to her, she made it sound like I was interested in it (I WASN'T). She made me speak to her and hear her say that it was 'fine and I should look at wikipedia etc on it'. When I did, it felt like everything was against me not wanting it.
Some other subtle events included when my mum went 'I called (other friend) and their son might get circumcised along with you next year' and 'I'm trying to find a clinic in Newcastle where they do a circumcision'. That one makes me slightly anxious because if she does, then it would definitely be set for next year. Other stuff she says is 'Well it'll be more expensive if you're older' making me feel like I have no option but to get it done next year.
The main reason why I oppose it is because of the fact it's pretty much because she found out someone else's son got circumcised. I see ZERO reason why that affects me. If circumcision is on the p*nis, and that is a private body part, I don't see a reason why circumcision would be seen as something special, lots of people are circumcised, and that doesn't mean that I must get it or that's something significant (Of course it is for religions like Judaism/Islam but in this case, there's no cultural/religious reason).
Idk what else to say. It feels like a race against time
