Billy Ray Boyd: Difference between revisions

'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' is a [[circumcised]] man who lives most of his time in San Francisco, writing and teaching English at [https://www.ccsf.edu/ City College of San Francisco] to refugees and immigrants. With friends, he founded [https://noharmm.org/TVS.htm The Victims Speak] in San Francisco, a group of "men friends, and loved ones hurt by [[circumcision]] in various ways and degrees who seek to bring their voice to the circumcision debate through creative non-violent action."

 

'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' is an [[intactivist]]. He has authored two books to advance knowledge of the harm and lack of benefit of [[child circumcision]].

Boyd grew up in the Ozark Mountains of north Arkansas. His family did not believe in infant [[circumcision]], so he was protected from the usual harmful [[circumcision of the newborn]].

====Premature forcible foreskin retraction====

Premature forcible foreskin retraction (PFFR) is a very bad way to care for an [[intact]], [[foreskinned]] boy. As a young boy, Boyd received a harmful [[forced foreskin retraction]] of his [[intact]] [[foreskin]] by an ignorant caretaker, which ripped apart the [[synechia]] that fused the inner surface of his immature [[foreskin]] with his underlying [[glans penis]]. [[Fusions_and_adhesions#Adhesion| Adhesions]] were the result as the raw surfaces healed together.
