America's laws against forced genital cutting of vulvas aren't premised on the risk of girls developing autism. Laws against genital cutting are about the fundamental right to physical integrity and human dignity.

If you're at GLMA, stop by my poster and learn about the lived experiences of trans, intersex , and gender-diverse people who have experienced nonvoluntary genital cutting and the consequences of violated bodily autonomy, including forced #circumcision.

What I'm saying is more in the lane of "eat this, not that".
Eat:
It's plausible that there is some (but we don't know exactly what) effect on the nervous system.
No eat:
It causes autism

No, I didn't. Did you lose your reading glasses? What I said was plausible was that early infancy circumcision influences neurological development. That's not the same as saying it causes autism.

RFK is wrong about Tylenol.
There is evidence of a relationship between circumcision and ASD. Not involving medication at all.

Injury in early infancy can have big consequences for neural development. We see this in preemies and in infants who had heart surgery (cannot provide adequate anesthesia). Genitals are highly innervated. Cutting them is painful. The wound after is painful.

Pamphlet cover. Hadachek v. Oregon
Seeking
Genital Autonomy
For All
Information about
the lawsuit
for LGBTQIA+ people
Three logos at the bottom: Intact global, genital autonomy collective, and GALDEF https://www.galdef.org
What are the plaintiffs
asking for?
The Hadachek v. Oregon lawsuit challenges Oregon's
anti-female genital mutilation law, arguing the law is
applied in a discriminatory manner.
The Goal:
The plaintiffs want Oregon to rewrite the anti-genital
mutilation law in a non-discriminatory, sex-neutral way.
Such a law would protect not just endosex girls, but also
endosex boys as well as children with intersex traits.
Equal protection for all would align Oregon with the
2024 recommendations of the Brussels Collaboration on
Bodily Integrity1
.
The plaintiffs are asking the court to:
Declare that Oregonβs conduct in passing ORS 163.207 and
431A.600 violates the Equal Protection clause and the Equal
Rights Amendment of the Oregon Constitution,
Enjoin Oregon from continuing to engage in such disparate
treatment of children on the basis of their sex.
Inform the Oregon Legislative Assembly of these
declarations so they may enact sex-neutral child genital
cutting policies.

Genital Cutting and the Rights of the Child: Moving Toward Consensus. Am J Bioeth, 19(10), 17-28.
Why is this important
for LGBTQIA+ people?
This case reveals the importance of subsidiarity: the
person best able to judge if potential bodily changes are
desirable is the person themselves.
The lawsuit is an opportunity to:
Center LGBTQIA values of autonomy, consent, and
equality for all sexes and bodies.
Highlight how the binary sex/gender system in
medicine harms children with intersex traits
Draw a sharp contrast between gender affirming
care and nonvoluntary genital surgeries.
Explain why children, not parents, physicians, or
politicians, should have control over their own
bodies and choices, especially regarding genitalia.
Roughly 1 in 7 American boys and men resent their
nonvoluntary circumcision 1, and gay men are more likely to resent nonvoluntary circumcision 2.
Circumcision eliminates sensitive genital tissue,
negatively affecting vaginoplasty for trans women.

satisfaction in a sample of US American men. Cult Health Sex, 20(8), 945-959.
2 Selino, S., & Krawczyk, R. (2023). Happiness with circumcision status, not status itself, predicts
genital self-image in a geographically diverse sample. Arch Sex Behav, 52(4), 1525-1534.
Are you a Genital
cutting sufferer?
If you believe you suffered harm because Oregonβs child
genital cutting policy protects only endosex female
children, and you are interested in joining this important
legal action to seek equal protection under the law for
genital autonomy, contact Intact Global today.

Support for Violated Genital Autonomy
The Genital Autonomy Collective provides
intersectional peer support to trans, intersex, and
gender-expansive people who have experienced
violations of genital autonomy and/or who want to
exercise their genital autonomy through
gender-affirming surgery, foreskin restoration, or other
modifications. https://autonomycollective.org/
As I said they would, the Trump regime is escalating its attacks on healthcare for trans and gender-expansive youth.
Here is my updated pamphlet about a lawsuit about Oregon's female genital mutilation law and how to fight back for trans, intersex, and gender-expansive people.
