'''John Ellis''', born in Montreal, Canada, is an [[intactivist]] airline pilot who now lives in South Florida. John's specialty is writing letters to public figures about male circumcision. Ellis says, "“Talk about equality in our culture — not to mention in international [[human rights]] documents — is based on a foundation of hypocrisy. We don’t treat boys and girls equally,” he continues. “Girls get more comforting, while there’s a ubiquitous lack of sensitivity and empathy toward men and their genitalia. Essentially, circumcision constitutes the systematic bullying of baby boys, who are picked on because they cannot defend themselves.” [[Georganne Chapin]], director of [[Intact America]] commented, "“As all of us know, every letter, every conversation, plants a seed, which in turn takes root and grows. John’s persistent outreach, and his clear presentation of facts, law, and ethics around male genital mutilation, are doing their job. The intactivist movement — and American boys — are lucky to have John Ellis working alongside us.” Chapin honored Ellis as "intactivist of the month" in November 2015. {{Construction SiteLINKS}} * [https://intactamerica.org/iotm-john-ellis/ IOTM – John Ellis]
