But cutting up babies’ genitals for any reason except medical intervention for relevant pathologies is genital mutilation.

How could you know either way?
I don’t know how it feels to never have my hair cut. It’s only cultural to get one’s hair cut regularly; but most people do as they feel it helps them look and feel better.

Sounds like it was medically necessary then which they’re saying is ok.
