wikify Flap of skin
== Claim ==
This site differs from others opposed to genital mutilation - its focus is on [[intact]]ness, rather than on [[circumcision]]. It is intended to counteract the "circodoxy": the mindset that the [[foreskin]] is an "extra" "[[flap of [[skin]]" and that [[circumcision]] is the norm - and the corresponding mindsets that lead to the cutting of girls and intersex people.
The Intactivism Pages do not pretend to be "balanced". The case for [[circumcision]] has been made daily for decades in public media such as TV sitcoms, magazine articles, by medical "authorities" and by word of mouth. Now, thanks to the Internet, the opposition has a chance to be heard uninterrupted. This site does attempt to tell the truth about [[circumcision]], and not overstate the case against it.
