Such derogatory language shows a lack of respect for the person, and so it is inappropriate and unacceptable today. Appropriate terms for the presence of the [[foreskin]] are ''natural'', ''normal'', ''[[intact]]'' and ''[[foreskinned]]''.
 ==Connotation==
The un- before circumcised suggests that something has not been done that needs to be done. It suggests that circumcision is needed, so if one does not think that circumcision is needed, then one should not use ''uncircumcised''.
 
== [[Restoration]] ==
There's a context where the term ''uncircumcised'' might be used properly: If a [[circumcised]] individual wants to undo their [[circumcision]], they may speak of uncircumcision in a way that indicates that they undergo some procedure of [[restoration]].<ref name="bigelow1994">{{REFbook
