When people say that they want their son circumcised because Dad is and they don't want their little boy to question why they look different to Dad, i sometimes wonder if they would operate on a daughters genitals if they look different to Mums.

There are lots of body parts that differ between parent and child. Some of these are due to development level (adults have pubic hair, babies usually don't), others are just variations that exist between different people (my pinky fingers bend, Mum's don't).

We don't operate to make kids clones of ourselves, variations betweens kids in the family and between kids and parents can be used as a discussion tool to talk about variations in life.
