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

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 erupted 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.

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-Semitism|anti-Semitic 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, [[Ulf Dunkel |Dunkel]] acknowledged that his statements had unintentionally served [[Anti-Semitism|anti-Semitic semitic]] steretypes. He credibly regretted these statements and again strongly distanced himself from [[Anti-Semitism|anti-Semitism ]] and xenophobia. This way, Schepper scored the non-exclusion of [[Ulf Dunkel|Dunkel ]] on a comparison.
