is part of the campaign to illegalize
circumcision, because it's dangerous and it
traumatized me and ruined my sex life," he said.
"It should go over well in the Bay where the

International Symposium on Genital Autonomy this week
Intactivist of the Month: (July 2014)
Dr John Fitton
East Midlands Regional Council,
British Medical Association
Speaking against a motion at the BMA conference about female
genital cutting because it fails to protect male and
intersex children (but making it very clear he opposes all
cutting) he said:
"This cutting trade has no place in our profession and any
doctor who is profiting from it should be ashamed.
And be warned, if molestation can be prosecuted after 40
years, so might mutilation." (Starts at 13:02 )
Bravo too to Dr Antony Lempert of the Secular Medical Forum
for first speaking against the motion.
