* '''[[James Loewen]]''', Photographer, discovered his circumcised status at age seven, which sparked his outrage. Artistic abilities as a child led him to a career as a photographer and many fascinating assignments, including a three‑month project in 1975, photographing the activities at the sex‑change clinic of the notorious Dr. John Brown. In 1993, Loewen happened upon [[Jim Bigelow]]’s book, ''The Joy of Uncircumcising'', and began connecting with others opposed to infant and childhood genital surgeries. His lifetime of questioning gender, sexual roles, and orientation has informed his artistic and intactivist activities. Currently he is making videos related to intactivism and hosting a YouTube channel, “intactivist1” with many collected video clips related to the issue. Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
* '''Thomas wW. Hennen''', {{JD}}, received a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering from {{UNI|Washington State University|Wazzu}} (1969) and a Juris Doctor in Law from the {{UNI|University of Maine|UMaine}} School of Law (1973). He is a member of both the Washington and California Bar Associations and is admitted as an attorney before the US Patent & Trademark Office. He has spent 33 years of his professional career working as an Intellectual Property Attorney for government and corporate employers. Des Moines, {{USSC|WA}}, USA.
* '''Robert C. Johnson''' recently retired from a 24‑year career as a writer and editor at {{UNI|Gallaudet University|GALLY}} in Washington, {{USSC|DC}}, USA, where he wrote extensively about deafness‑related research. He is co‑editor of ''Testing Deaf Students in an Age of Accountability'', published by {{UNI|Gallaudet University|GALLY}} Press. In 2005, at the age of 60, determined to understand and overcome the root cause of difficulties with intimacy he had experienced all his adolescent and adult life, he decided to pursue an eclectic form of regressive therapy for a second time. Much to his surprise, during one session of this therapy, he began to re‑experience his neonatal circumcision, an event he believes originally occurred within hours or minutes after birth, without parental consent (a frequent occurrence in 1945), many hours before he met his parents. His paper describes his journey from that shocking discovery to his current status as an anti‑circumcision activist. Alexandria, {{USSC|VA}}.
