'''Marilyn Fayre Milos''', {{RN}}, ({{LifeData|birth=1940-03-22| birthplace=San Mateo, CA| birthcountry=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 has studied at the [https://www1.marin.edu/ College of Marin].

* Co-founder, president, and Executive Director of the [http://www.nocirc.org National Organization of Circumcision Information Resources Centers ] (NOCIRC), working to end the non-therapeutic circumcision of baby boys in the USA.

* 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.

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 routine elective non-therapeutic circumcision of baby boys when, as a nursing student in 1979, she witnessed the [https://www.reddit.com/r/Intactivism/comments/qbpzqr/trained_medical_professionals_restrain_infant_to/ 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 of ]] 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.<ref name="Glick">{{REFbook |last=Glick

==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 [[Foreskin#Protective_functions| protective, immunological, and sexual functions]], and that every child has an inherent right to [[Physical integrity| bodily integrity ]] and [[genital autonomy ]] (personal choice).<ref>"Marilyn Milos and Donna Macris note that some have claimed that the [[foreskin ]] provides a protective covering for the [[glans]], making the [[uncircumcised ]] [[penis ]] more sensitive during sexual activity."
