Reproductive system surgery performed on massive numbers of people without their (or their parents') consent. Do you condemn this only when the victims are indigenous?
As for power imbalance, that's featured in most such sterilization stories. In the US, the victims were POC, or poor, or classed with mental problems -- and the proponents were faceless respectable elites doing something then considered quite acceptable -- "for their own good".
Now the supporters of involuntary circumcision are the same kind of faceless elites -- and the victims are everyone not rich or powerful enough to get special treatment for their own baby.
I'm sorry if you can't tell the difference between "lacks foreskin" and "can no longer have children" you are sufficiently far off the edge that I don't think we can have a conversation.
