Intactivism started specifically as a movement against the non-therapeutic [[circumcision]] of male minors. Intactivism does not intend to ban circumcision globally — intactivism promotes that all children deserve to grow with [[intact]] genitals, and that genital surgeries — including [[circumcision]] — should only be performed on adults capable of providing [[informed consent]], except in cases of real medical necessity.
[[Jonathan A. Allan]] quoted [[David Wilton]] who said, "While no gender or person is excluded from those intactivists seek to protect through lobbying and political action, infant boys are the most wide-spread victims of genital cutting in the United States.<ref name="allan2024">{{REFbook
