The hidden agenda behind the so-called Parents' Rights push
How parents' rights is a tool for Christian nationalism
By Andra Watkins (2023)

May 7th Is World Wide Day of Genital Autonomy.

A day to raise awareness of a human right that is frequently violated in the western world through male circumcision and intersex 'normalization' surgeries. Also, while no longer widely practiced there are still over 500 thousand victims of FGM in the US with extremely few avenues for support since their battle is often thought as 'won'. There's similar disenfranchisement of the grief of everyone who has experienced child genital cutting including an *incorrect* association with the manosphere/faschosphere.

I host two explicitly intersectional support groups on discord, one for the intersection (violated) genital autonomy and trans, intersex, and gender diverse peoples. I also host a support group for other marginalized allies in the same vein. You can access these at our work in progress website. It's currently at 19 PT on Tuesdays.

May 7th is Worldwide Day of Genital Autonomy: Genital autonomy should be a basic human right, but it’s all too often infringed upon, such as with routine circumcision. On Worldwide Day of Genital Autonomy, we recognize this and advocate for change. More info: genital-autonomy.de (not affiliated with the website, I just agree with their message and recommend their resources as a starting point)
Circumcision Isn't Harmless: Approximately 50% of penile skin is removed during a routine infant circumcision. This includes the most nerve-dense and sensitive areas. Not only can there be many physical complications during the surgery and in recovery, but the psychological affects are also heavily under-studied. Many people who had the surgery done to them as a baby report feeling mutilated and that it was a violation of consent.
Consent is Key: The pre-emptive removal of tissue is something very rarely found in medicine outside of genital cutting, such as circumcision. Only around 1 in 200 intact individuals end up having foreskin-related complications, and most of those only occur around puberty. Even when complications do occur, they can almost always be solved without circumcision. It should be a no-brainer to wait until something goes wrong to remove an entire body part, or at least wait until the individual can make that decision for themselves.
Why Not Wait? Everyone deserves the right to bodily autonomy. Making a decision to remove part of a child’s body before they are able to have any input violates that right. Many of the few benefits of circumcision are related to cleanliness when it comes to sexual health. When a child is born, you shouldn’t need to worry about STIs. Waiting until they are old enough to make an informed decision about their own body just makes sense.

Happiness with Circumcision Status, Not Status Itself, Predicts Genital Self-Image in a Geographically Diverse Sample
Selino & Krawczyk, 2023 Archives of Sexual Behavior

"Participants who were circumcised tended to have less happiness with their circumcision status than non-circumcised participants regardless of region of birth."

link.springer.com/article/10.1

SpringerLinkHappiness with Circumcision Status, Not Status Itself, Predicts Genital Self-Image in a Geographically Diverse Sample - Archives of Sexual BehaviorResearch exploring the impact of penile circumcision on aspects of body image is scarce and few studies have considered the potential roles of attitudinal factors toward one’s own circumcision status. The purpose of the present study was to assess the potential relationship between one’s circumcision status, happiness with circumcision status, genital self-image, and sexual functioning. The present study also examined how happiness with circumcision status varied across geographic regions. A total of 205 participants (102 circumcised, 103 not circumcised) completed a study through online recruitment methods. Participants reported being born in the United States (n = 80), Canada (n = 23), and various countries within Latin America (n = 22), Europe (n = 49), Asia (n = 13), Africa (n = 11), and Oceania (n = 7). Participants who were not circumcised reported significantly greater happiness with their circumcision status than participants who were circumcised. However, genital self-image, sexual body image, and sexual functioning did not significantly differ by circumcision status. Instead, participants who reported being happier with their circumcision status reported better genital self-image and less body exposure avoidance during sex, but sexual function did not differ by happiness. Although researchers hypothesized that happiness with circumcision status would depend on whether one fits in with the majority circumcision status within their region of origin, results did not support this. Participants who were circumcised tended to have less happiness with their circumcision status than non-circumcised participants regardless of region of birth. These findings support a small body of the literature which suggests that the psychosexual impact of penile circumcision may rely more on attitudinal factors toward circumcision status than actual circumcision status.

"Diese Art von Bagatellisierung nach dem Motto 'Das ist ja nur so ein kleiner Eingriff' - aus dieser Ecke müssen wir diesen Eingriff unbedingt herausholen."
Auch für euch, @bmi die #SWR-Doku: "Jungenbeschneidung - mehr als nur ein kleiner Schnitt?".

Wer sich in Deutschland noch gegen #Beschneidung​en von Kindern engagiert, wird schlichtweg mit dem Stempel #Muslimfeindlichkeit vom @bmi versehen und damit hat sich das dann auch.
Ob das jetzt mehr über die Bedeutung von #Kinderrechte​n & #Menschenrechte​n oder doch die #Debattenkultur in diesem Land aussagt, das weiß ich hingegen noch nicht.

Die unter dem Deckmantel der Aufklärung vorgetragene Kritik richtete sich zunächst gegen die religiöse Praxis von Muslim*innen, betraf aber auch Jüdinnen und Juden.

Today is the day of genital autonomy.

What is meant by this?

In 2012, on May 7, a German court ruled that male circumcision is completely in line with German law, leaving not only the Basic Law (right to bodily integrity) but also the decision about a sexual organ completely up to the parents. These often have little to no education and if "education" then it is studies from the year 1950. a 🧵
