You are right that you shouldn't be able to dictate what someone else does with their own body. No-one should make such choices for others. Babies cannot give their consent to being circumcised and their parents should be banned from making that choice for them. The reason male infant circumcision needs banning is that some babies suffer serious harm up to and including death from the procedure.
It's only an issue when it's done to people who cannot consent to it. Adults are generally free to choose body modifications for themselves. Not real sure about "romanticizing" it; maybe people are justifiably upset a functional part of their body was removed without their consent.
