Genital Autonomy Society

 I created the website "GenitalAutonomySociety.org" and I did so for multiple reasons:

  • Petitions that include male genital cutting fail to get sufficient signatures.
  • Petitions do not provide ways to collaborate specifically based on the individuals location, skills, interests and other aspects.
  • A place where people can identify themselves as parts of the movement without concerns that their name will be publicly visible. (they will be notified privately by approved personnel regarding events and opportunities to contribute)
  • A place where individuals do not need to be concerned about being banned like social media platforms will do.
  • A place where organizations advocating for genital autonomy can be visible in a single place.
I chose "autonomy" over "integrity" because autonomy says that everyone gets to choose for themselves while integrity says that everything should always remain intact.  While I do not understand why someone may desire to have their genitalia modified, I believe in freedom and individualism.  Going with "integrity" would expand the scope of the effort and increase risks of people not being an integral part of the movement (and registering with Genital Autonomy Society).

There are a number of organizations advocated for genital autonomy for a number of reasons:

  • Different ideas about strategy, tactics and needs.
  • Different cultures in different parts of the world.
  • Different religious views.

I'm going to name some of the organizations not to play favorites but to highlight the different parts that they play in the movement and demonstrate how all of the organizations are important and valuable.

Doctors Opposing Circumcision provides credibility for when dealing with those who appeal to the authority of medical professionals.  They provide a website and speakers upon request.

Your Whole Baby provides an easily navigable website and well moderated groups and pages on Facebook as well as presence on other social media platforms.  They also have numerous items available for sale in their shop that advocates can use to attempt to spread the awareness and education.

Organizations like Bloodstained Men, Cockfight and Intaction are like a marketing department in a corporation.

Intaction also has a separate effort (separate from the 501c3 organization) to lobby government officials.

Foreskin Revolution does a number of things to raise awareness as well, and they do so from Australia.

Next Level Intactivism does outreach to the press.

Attorneys for the Rights of the Child take various legal actions.

National Organization of Restoring Men (NORM) and 15Square provide support to victims.

Intact America is most known for the surveys they pay for to keep a pulse on the status of the public opinion in the USA.

There are numerous more organizations that I could bring up.  The point I am attempting to demonstrate is that all of these organizations are filling spaces in the movement that are all important and valuable.

Much work has been put into this movement and I desire to keep the fruits of that labor alive and available to the public.  Some of this requires financial resources to maintain these organizations, websites and other resources.  Please consider donating to these organizations and/or reach out via the contact page of GenitalAutonomySociety.org so we can help you direct support where it is needed most at the specific time.

As a cut father of two sons, I highly appreciate advocates for genital autonomy as they saved my wife and I from harming them.

Pandemic going on for 1,000s of years

There's a virus that has been spreading the world for 1,000s of years.  A much slower spread than what most people consider when thinking of a pandemic and it kills far fewer people too.  It's not a biological virus, although, it does pretend to be a normal part of you like a biological virus does.  Around 1/6th of the world's population is infected.

There IS a cure for this virus!  It's simply education.  However, like your immune system, your brain has to be trained to see the virus as a problem and not a normal & healthy part.  This would be dealing with something called cognitive dissonance.

To deal with cognitive dissonance, you have to open your mind to the possibility that you are infected.  This is a mind virus, soooo, the virus does not want you to see it!

If I tell you right away the name of the virus, your brain will immediately reject the idea that you have it and you will likely stop reading any further.

It is unknown exactly how this virus got started as it started before written history.  There are many theories like:

- Marking slaves, much like cattle are branded.

- Attempts to control people by removing part of the body that drives particular behavior (at least it was believed to).

There are also documented reasons like:

- Marking a religious group to be distinct from the rest of the world.

- Marking individuals as ones who have reached a certain age (a rite of passage).

- Marking a wealthy/powerful group to set themselves apart from those who are not wealthy/powerful.

- Theories about addressing specific health issues.

Luckily technology has improved our ability to spread this education and hopefully eradicate the virus.  This virus has become such a part of the identities of some individuals as well as the identities of entire groups of people that it is dangerous for some to attempt to eradicate this virus.  Doing so may be more risky to one's health than to let the virus continue to spread and move from one generation to the next.  However, if one cares deeply about the future of the next generation, one will do so.

IF you are committed to eradicating this virus and willing to work through your own cognitive dissonance, scroll down to the bottom of this.

"CIRCUMCISION" (genital cutting rituals)
