| Title=As told by [[Intact America]]: | Text=[[Richard Duncker]], the British [[intactivist]] and founder of [MenDoComplain.com[Men Do Complain]] who started the bloodstained jumpsuit movement, followed by [[Jonathon Conte]] and [[Brother K]], two Americans who have brought Richard’s idea to the forefront of intactivism in the United States.
“The suits for the bloodstained men were inspired by a friend,” Richard says. “I made the first suit and showed it to some colleagues in the UK, and the reaction was one of horror, as if I’d told the world’s most tasteless joke. I still thought the idea was good, so I took some photos and put them on Facebook. Later, (intactivist and videographer) [[James Loewen]] saw them and asked for permission to use one. That gave me the courage to wear the first suit in a demonstration in the UK outside the Department of Health in Whitehall.”
After that initial demonstration—in which “our blood became public,” says Brother K—he has traveled across the United States to protest with other intactivists. “The bloodstained symbol cuts through all the clutter and rhetoric that surround this issue, and gets to the heart of circumcision. It's a bloody wound that men reject when given a choice. I believe that bloodstained protests can accelerate our progress because of the phenomenal response I've seen from the public. Thousands of people have photographed the protests, and I always say, ‘Every photo saves a baby... and THAT saves a hundred more.’"

The bloodstained suit was also used in Germany to demonstrate against the ruling that reversed the historic [[Cologne circumcision court judgment]] and regulated circumcision.<ref>{{REFweb
