Circumcision, fgm, the so-called husband stitch… wtf, people? If you’ve got genitals you’re happy with it seems a challenge just to keep them intact against the lunatics who want to chop and stitch. What is wrong with humans?

You conveniently left out gender transition of minors from your list of horrible acts.

But that's hip and cool these days (just like all of the things on your list once were), so it's totally fine.

Transition isn’t on the list because a) it is, unlike the others, a major medical procedure, b) is not a cultural relic of some people and c) the list was for people who are happy with the genitals they had at birth. It’s nothing to do with me being such an overwhelmingly hip and cool motherfucker, I just didn’t want to conflate two distinctly separate scenarios.
