Marilyn Milos

Marilyn Fayre Milos, RN[a 1], (born 22 March 1940 in San Mateo, CA, USA), who has championed the rights of infants and children to bodily integrity and genital autonomy since witnessing circumcision as a nursing student in 1979, spoke at the WWDOGA in 2015. She studied at the College of Marin.

Memberships

  • Co-founder, president, and Executive Director of the National Organization of Circumcision Information Resources Centers (NOCIRC), working to end the non-therapeutic circumcision of baby boys in the USA.
  • Co-editor of the proceedings of the international symposia, published by Springer,
  • Co-founder, president, and Executive Director of Genital Autonomy - America after NOCIRC name change in January 2016, to protect the bodily integrity and genital autonomy of every child — female, intersex, and male.
  • Coordinator of 15 International Symposia on Genital Autonomy, held from 1989 to 2018.
  • Coordinator of International Symposia on Genital Autonomy and Children's Rights at Intactivism
  • Member of the Advisory Board of Your Whole Baby
  • Member of the Board of Directors of Intact America, effective 1 July 2021.

Early life

Born in San Mateo, California, and professionally trained as a Registered Nurse at the College of Marin's School of Nursing, Milos started campaigning against elective non-therapeutic circumcision of baby boys when, as a nursing student in 1979, she witnessed the circumcision of a newborn baby boy. It was the moment she realized that her doctor had lied to her about what would happen to her own sons behind closed doors. Once she researched the issue and realized that most of the world's males are not circumcised, the important functions of the foreskin, and the harmful consequences of inflicting pain and trauma on a newborn baby, she began giving parents accurate information about circumcision. She was told to keep her mouth shut and, in 1985, she was forced to resign. She founded NOCIRC that same year, 1985.[1]

Support for genital autonomy

Milos, who supports genital autonomy for all children, bases her arguments on the fact that the foreskin is a normal body structure with protective, immunological, and sexual functions, and that every child has an inherent right to bodily integrity and genital autonomy (personal choice).[2][3] She also believes that circumcision of infants should be seen as a human rights issue:

Milos serves on the Board of Directors of Intact America.

Quote

“ Only by denying the existence of excruciating pain, perinatal encoding of the brain with violence, interruption of maternal-infant bonding, betrayal of infant trust, the risks and effects of permanently altering normal genitalia, the right of human beings to sexually intact and functional bodies, and the right to individual religious freedoms can human beings continue this practice.
– Marilyn Fayre Milos[4]

Milos was chosen "Intactivist of the Month" by Intact America.

Videos

  • Informed Consent, created by Marilyn, Sheila Curran, RN[a 1], with Dr. Edward Boyce performing a circumcision, and narrated by Troy Christian.
