Elwyn Moir was circumcised as a baby and isn’t happy about it. He grew up feeling angry and violated, and is currently in the process of trying to “restore” his foreskin. He has identified as an “intactivist”, and believes circumcision is a personal choice that should be made by consenting adults. Elwyn has worked in mental health and suicide prevention since 2006. He also holds degrees in philosophy and ethics from The University of Queensland.

Tim says:
