Prospective parents would be appalled if you suggested tattooing a baby's foreskin because you think it would make his penis would look better. They turn around and use the same justification for amputating the foreskin, despite orders of magnitude more harm. It's insane.

Anyone have boy name suggestions that relate to bodily autonomy or being whole/intact/perfect?

Ok y’all, thread time 🧵 #intactivists need to stop using the slogan “His Body, His Choice” It frames an extreme and peculiar decision as a normal inevitability. It lends legitimacy to the very thing we are fighting.

My mom pulled out a baby photo album. The first 3 pics were me, freshly born. In 1 of the 3 they were rubbing the goop off me. They must have forced retraction, as the head was exposed and very red. Now I know if we get transferred, that I don't want someone to wipe down my boy.

AAAAH. I was following someone because they talked about foreskin restoration, but it turns out they are simultaneously a circumfetishist. If you like genital mutilation, please delete your account and go get help.

Wow, it's been more than a year, but life got busy when my boy was born. It was a great birth at a birth center. He's now 1 year old! We moved and are looking for a new pediatrician in the Utah Highlands area. I'll have to start interviewing around.

It's pretty frustrating that women have a greater voice on men's issues than men do. My wife could tell a pregnant woman not to circumcision her child, but I cannot.

Yesterday I handed a coworker a YourWholeBaby.com card and told him how the information made a big impact on our lives. His wife is 9 months pregnant with their first son. He thanked me sincerely. It's the first time I had the courage to give one out, and it went so well!

I will be having another son this year! Another boy, another intact. ☺️

I feel like yourwholebaby.org can be too direct for those who are prudish (their step 1 is looking at pictures) To me it seems littleimages.org hits the different points more tactfully (unhealthy, unnatural, unkind) but is very religious. Do you know of any others?

What is the most cost effective way to convince people to not cut their children? It hurts me to know it's happening to a million boys a year in the US alone. Making posts online and a bumper sticker doesn't seem to be enough.

Sent a message to a coworker today who is having a boy about circumcision. I was super nervous. He responded: "Thanks! Ya we were not planning on that either. Appreciate the info" Glad another boy is safe. I just wish I had confirmation that I convinced someone.

Today I talked to THREE coworkers, all who are having their first boy about keeping them intact. One was planning on it. One wasn't sure before I spoke to them. I hope they'll review the info I sent. One just thanked me for the info. So I hope that they make the right choice.
