Intactivism

From Peaceful Beginnings

Intactivist protesting for banning medically unnecessary sexual genital mutilation of minors at the Capitol of the United States of America in 2003.

Intactivism is a social and political movement opposing medically unnecessary modification of the genitals of children including circumcision and sex reassignment surgery of intersexed children and boys with botched male circumcisions. Intactivists describe their position as being in favor of genital integrity. Intactivists wish to protect all children regardless of race, religion, nationality, ethnicity, et cetera from medically unnecessary genital modification and mutilation.
