Lower std/sti rates, lower penile cancer risk, higher long term health outcomes in nearly every study done versus slightly more sexual sensitivity during sex if not using a condom…
Moreso, do what you think is appropriate and beneficial for your children using available data. Are there risk to circumcision, very much so, however there are also risks long term to not circumcising your child, and doing it neonatal is far safer than doing it at 18.
It's been a while since I looked into it, but the data wasn't good when I did. The thing about circumcision is that it correlates with conservative sexual mores and more disciplined lifestyles in general. It's difficult to say that the benefits come from being cut vs. things that correlate with being cut. A lot of the studies also use Africans (as in ones living in Africa) so that further clouds them.
I wouldn't relay on "muh trauma" to argue against circumcision anyway. There's just no reason to mutilate normal baby penises.

"Trust the science. Mutilate your dick."
