Bodily autonomy means the right to make decisions about your own body. 👶✂️

Many boys are circumcised without consent, raising serious questions about their rights. Why is FGM illegal, but not male circumcision? 🤔

Every child deserves the right to bodily autonomy. 🌍

The 'Big Lie' of the @WHO's VMMC programs is that they're "voluntary". The goal has always been to create a self-perpetuating circumcision culture in Africa that extends into future generations. Public health authorities intend to do it by focusing on infants who can't object.

Intactivsts fight for the rights of healthy male, female, and intersex kids to be left intact. Informed adults can decide for themselves about any non-therapeutic genital alterations.

I'll stop talking publicly about circumcising foreskins when you stop removing them from children who cannot consent. #i2 #intactivism

Circumcising to prevent H.I.V. in the United States doesn’t make sense from a cost and risk standpoint, said Dr. Timothy Johnson, M.D. https://t.co/Qi8JE7xwXE

[Intact Kenya @IntactKenya]

"most men who have already been circumcised didn't choose to be and are defensive when confronted by the idea that their foreskins were cut off by someone else without sufficient jurisdiction for doing so"

The foreskin is complex, specialized tissue – a double-layered fold of skin, mucous membrane, and muscle, containing dense concentrations of erogenous nerve endings. It has many protective and sexual functions.

There is no justification to amputate a child's foreskin, a practice that harms the boy psychologically and that diminishes his sexual capabilities once he reaches maturity, benefiting doctors financially while damaging their supposed allegiance to the Hippocratic Oath.

@ovngani @rfhhealthcare It isn't free if you need a NHIF card to access the service. Unless the meaning of "free" recently changed

MYTH: The foreskin is just a piece of skin.
FACT: The foreskin is specialized tissue – a mobile, double-layered fold of skin, mucous membrane, & muscle, containing dense concentrations of erogenous nerve endings. It's an integral part of the penile skin system, not “extra.”
