'''Georg Schepper''' is ~~a German~~ attorney ~~from Bielefeld~~ and an intactivist. He is member of the [[Facharbeitskreis Beschneidungsbetroffener|Experts Circle of Circumcision Affected Ones]] at [[MOGiS e.V.]], and member of the [[Bundesweiter Arbeitskreis Säkulare Grüne|BAK Secular Greens]].

'''Georg Schepper''' (* April 5, 1969 in Krefeld, Germany) is an attorney, humanist and intactivist.

~~During~~ the ~~German [[Circumcision Debate]] in 2012~~, ~~he has published~~ a ~~very valuable article at [[MOGiS e~~.V.~~|MOGiS]]~~.

Schepper grew up in Landau at the Isar and, after high school and completing a banking apprenticeship, studied law in Regensburg and Utrecht (Netherlands). In the late 1990s he withdrew from the Catholic Church. Since 2001 he has practiced in Bielefeld.

In ~~2013~~-~~2014~~, he represented the Greens politician [[Ulf Dunkel]] as his attorney in his [[Ulf_Dunkel#Party_exclusion_procedure_discontinued|Party Exclusion Procedure]] and scored the non-exclusion of Dunkel on a comparison.

Being affected from [[circumcision]] himself, Georg Schepper showed solidarity with men who had undergone a [[circumcision]] without their own consent and do suffer from it, when the [[Circumcision Debate]] incurred in Germany in 2012 as a result of the [[Cologne circumcision court judgment]]. He belongs to the co-signatories of the [[Open Letter on Circumcision]] in the ''Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung''. In October 2012, he published a comprehensive analysis on the subject, where he already raised many issues such as [[German Circumcision Act|§ 1631d BGB]] which were discussed later by other lawyers, too.

Schepper is a member of the [[HVD]] (Humanistischer Verband Deutschlands) (German Humanists Union), the patrons of the [[Giordano Bruno Foundation]] and member of the [[Bundesweiter Arbeitskreis Säkulare Grüne|BAK Secular Greens]].

It is still important to him that the [[Circumcision Debate]] will not be misused by right-wing groups. He joins his colleague [[Holger Fehmel]] who is also against racist and anti-Semitic tendencies in the debate. But he also advertises vehemently against dumb and intellectually dishonest attempts to defamate unpopular [[circumcision]] critics and possibly also religious critics by pushing them in the right corner, instead of facing factual disputes.

Against this background and with this concern, he represented the Greens politician [[Ulf Dunkel]] 2012-2014 as his attorney in his [[Ulf_Dunkel#Party_exclusion_procedure_discontinued|Party Exclusion Procedure]]. At the end, Dunkel acknowledged that his statements had unwittingly served anti-Semitic steretypes. He credibly regretted these statements and again strongly distanced himself from anti-Semitism and xenophobia. This way, Schepper scored the non-exclusion of Dunkel on a comparison.
