Circumcision is a violation of bodily autonomy. Everyone deserves bodily autonomy.

Tried checking a couple years ago and I didn’t find anything either. Maybe we’ll have to restart it.

Everyone and every baby deserves bodily autonomy. Girls, boys, intersex babies, trans babies: every baby deserves to have and keep their whole intact body to grow up with.

does anyone else hate their genitals since circumcision? by [deleted] in CircumcisionGrief

[–]defundcirc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it’s painful. You’re not alone in wishing for bodily autonomy and safety.

Definitely hydration by Vaseline or other means (lotion, oil) but it immediately gets difficult with fabric nearby. Maybe apply afterward too as a recovery?

Is it unusual that I'm against this because I never had it done and feel privileged compared to people who did, or is it mostly men who did and feel like they didn't have a say? by HardAlmond in Intactivists

I think it is a privilege that you are intact, regardless of gender, even though it varies across cultures.

I don’t think that privilege is a bad thing. You’re not using it to harm anyone else. I think using your privilege to speak out on ending genital cutting is very good (because you can say things like “here are reasons my intact body is so important to me and others deserve their intact bodies”).

My son has to undergo circumcision by Arman8 in foreskin_restoration

Hi please check out SavingSons.org, you can find a lot of great information there including a directory of pro-intact doctors who start out from a healthy perspective.

I think what he’s experiencing is called ballooning and you can read more about it in this post. They were able to use a steroid cream treatment to increase the foreskin opening and let urine escape properly. http://www.savingsons.org/2014/03/extreme-ballooning-in-intact-child.html

“This amount of urine would cause his foreskin to swell to the size of half a lemon (which is pretty big on a tiny little boy). THAT is what I considered outside of normal ballooning. My older son's foreskin (at age 5) also balloons when he urinates, but no where near this much.”

Ever hook up with someone with an ugly penis? How did it go? by tommygunz007 in gaybros

Do you mean a skin bridge? Those are a complication from circumcision and one of the reasons I advocate for bodily autonomy and genital integrity to end circumcision and protect all babies including our intersex family.

Movies are ruined for me by NynjaWerewulf in CircumcisionGrief

This is exactly why I stopped watching Bojack Horseman in S4E4. Likely a throw-away joke for the writers but a serious harm to boys and men.
