Since being circumcized at birth is strictly forbidden for females, I think the trauma of circumcision at birth has haunted many a young male. 14% of the time this practice is actually gender assignment. For me that was the case so. Though life may be easier for girls the first moments of life are worse for boys. I had asthma for the first 12 years of my life because of the wind knocked out of me when they just kept cutting; I was born with both, but I'll never actually see it.
