Jonathon Conte: Difference between revisions

'''Jonathon Conte''' ({{LifeData |birth=1981-06-14 |birthplace=Tampa |death=2016-05-09 |deathplace=San Francisco}}) was an intactivist and survivor of [[MGM|male genital mutilation]], who among other things contributed his [[Case_Histories#Jonathon_Conte.2C_31|case history]] for the [[Circumpendium]].

He engaged as Events Editor at [[IntactNews]] and as Events Coordinator with the [[Bay Area Intactivists]]. Before, he had worked in the [[San Francisco MGM Bill]] initiative to protect all children from forced [[Circumcision|genital cutting]] and work with and support other pieces of pending legislation on the local, state and national level.

He introduced the [[Bloodstained Men|bloodstained suit]] to America at the 2012 [[American Academy of Pediatrics]] convention in New Orleans.

On May 9, 2016, he took his own life. A few days earlier he demonstrated, as often, on the streets for the right of children on intact genitals, but apparently didn't talk to anybody about his great pain.

  |Text=To all of the mothers who protected their children from genital mutilation in the face of pressure from their community, religious leaders, family, or spouse/partner, thank you for putting the safety, well-being, and human rights of your children first.
