Icky Boyfriends
'Since the band [The Icky Boyfriends]
reunited in
2010, [Jonathan]
Swift has been writing new songs. "We have a new one called 'Knives,'
which 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 anti-circumcision movement
started."'

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.
