Removing it has ZERO positive effects other than  boasting the EGO of people that for no reason but tradition/religion  keep doing OUTDATED unhealthy shit. Doing tradition for traditions sake us useless.

Tell that to the millions with AIDS in africa.  It has been clinically proven that a circumsized person has less chance of catching and spreading the disease than an uncircumsized person.  The case is so strong that the leaders of several african nations publicly underwent the procedure to encourage the practice amonst the population to help cut down the disease that is KILLING MILLIONS!

STDs are better controlled through the use of condoms ...

Yes, they are.  But not everybody uses condoms, and some cultures (like those in africa) actually believe they CAUSE STDs.

... and none of those are legitimate reasons to promote circumcision over the use of condoms.
