Intactivism

The Intactivism Forum is a place where genital integrity advocates brainstorm social and political solutions to reducing the incidence of medical circumcision. Forum members critique studies and incidents, as well as advocate for social action, such as working for legislation, educating parents, or organizing a demonstration.

Focus on the incident not the individual; no people bashing. See UA.

Personal situations are better posted to the general The Case Against Circumcision (TCAC) Forum and will be moved.
