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.
