Hello all. I've launched a GoFundMe campaign to help assist me in attaining my goals of being able to afford a procedure that would correct many issues I currently have with my restored foreskin and bring it as close as possible to a real intact one. Any donations or shares are deeply appreciated. Thank you for your consideration.

Some good news in the ongoing fight for genital self determination.
We struck down a bill seeking to reintroduce circumcision as a covered procedure for parents under Medicare in the state of Mississippi thanks in large part to activist organization Intaction and their lobbyist Jordan Starnes. Successfully striking down both HB 412 and HB 722 in committee.
In addition CLR (Circumcision Law Reform) has successfully forced the American cancer society to remove being uncircumcised as a cause for increased penile cancer risk thus stripped circumcision advocates of another point of ammunition from their deranged crusades to take scalpels to children's otherwise healthy genitals.

The anti-circumcision activists are dunking on RFK Jr. for being an unhinged crank and conspiracy theorist. This is the top comment from this link:

Intactivism subreddit owner is taking an explicitly anti-intellectual turn. They (this moderator) banned me a few weeks ago for asking him if he's considered that transgender circumcision sufferers may be affected differently than cisgender sufferers.

Transphobia has no place in Intactivism | An Open Letter to Norm Cohen
by Miracle (pseudonym)"As a feminist who cares deeply for the absolute right of bodily autonomy, I am troubled by the suggestion that as a mature and autonomous person, anybody other than myself should be able to decide for me that changes to my body are counteractive to my best interest."

Based on the upvote/downvote ratio on my posts in the subreddit, I don't think intactivists are more likely than the general public to be "anti-woke". That stands in tension with the also-true observation that some intactivists have some highly regressive beliefs: misogyny, antisemitism, racism, egocentrism.
I set out to understand the community and found that it is both heterogenous and hotly contested. And, some (most?) of that contest falls along the -isms mentioned above.

Brendon Marotta whitewashes MLK Jr. r/Intactivism
"Marotta appears to be one of King's indifferent whites, happy to adopt a color blind mindset but not happy when oppressed people demand more than mere access and opportunity. Now, if Marotta so badly misrepresents MLK Jr. in just the first few pages of his book, are you curious about what else Marotta has misrepresented?"

How To Deradicalize a Movement
by Eliyahu Ungar-Sargon"As you can see, Marotta’s antisemitism is inclusive. He draws on the past with some old Christian anti-Jewish theology (Jewish as an adjective in the phrase “Jewish Justice”), but he also serves up a perverse misapplication of critical theory which he clumsily attempts to weaponize against an entire people’s identity."

Yet with AB768, the state of California specifically denies and interferes with an individual’s reproductive freedom - long prior to his ability to reproduce - in his most intimate decision, whether he may keep his own foreskin.
And they gutted a Bill about climate change to do it!
I mention this only because the Amendment is worded in such general terms - including being gender-neutral - that it becomes relevant.

CW: IGM/invoulentary sex reassignment in France
France is working on a new bioethics law, and some people are suggesting they add protections against IGM for intersex children: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/lawmaker-claims-french-bioethics-bill-073729268.html
https://twitter.com/TransMediaWatch/status/1168872028134359042
Everyone deserves autonomy over their own body, whether they are male, female, or intersex.

A good lecture by Brian Earp given to the UK National Secular Society: "Religious freedom, equal protection, and the child’s (gender neutral) right to bodily integrity": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBH0g_Cl7Rk
"A united front is needed: all children have a right to bodily integrity and protection from medically unnecessary genital cutting- female, male, intersex"

I just ran across a good article with illustrations and explanations of different kinds of intersex genitals. It explains how many of the operations performed on children without their consent are unneeded and often harmful. https://intersexroadshow.blogspot.com/2011/04/intersex-genitalia-illustrated-and.html
"We need society, the medical field, and intersex communities themselves to acknowledge that nature provides humanity with a wide range of forms, so that all of our bodies can be recognized as valid. Unless there is an actual rare functional problem, our bodies should not be altered in infancy, and only those functional problems should be addressed. Our genitals should be altered only if we ourselves request it, to make ourselves comfortable in our own skin, not to make society comfortable by our medical erasure. Society must come again to embrace the diversity that is nature's gift to us."
All children deserve to be protected from genital cutting without consent, whether they are male, female, or intersex.

CW: Female Genital Mutilation in the US
Currently, there are 21 states that have no law against FGM, only California has a law restricting intersex genital mutilation, and there are no laws against male genital mutilation. All children need to be protected from genital cutting without consent, whether they are male, female, or intersex.

CW: Female Genital Mutilation in the US
Last November, a judge ruled that the 1996 federal law banning Female Genital Mutilation in the US was unconstitutional, in part because it did not protect all sexes equally, and because it did not fall under the Necessary and Proper Clause or the Commerce Clause of the constitution. Brian Earp explains this better than I can: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qc2-NB9nWt0

CW: Female Genital Mutilation in the US
A friend sent this to me today: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-religion-fgm/u-s-woman-says-strict-christian-parents-subjected-her-to-fgm-idUSKCN1RD2LI
A woman in Kentucky from a strict christian family had her genitals mutilated along with her sister when she was 5 years old almost 40 years ago.
Cutting the genitals of children before they can consent is wrong.
