Would it be ok to post a GFM link if it has to do with trying to get protections extended to boys when it comes to MGM?

I'm trying to get resources and research materials like medical texts.

GoFundMe link. I'm trying to get states to extend the laws protecting gitls to boys as well.

But I need to get research materials like medical texts and access to academic sites.

I can send you the link and let you see what it entails. I thank you for the consideration.

Understandable. I'm on R/Mensrights all the time, even posted it there.

Same name, you can look at my history.

I also have a blog on Wordpress I started not long ago called TheAllowedDamaged

https://walterfletcher3rd.wordpress.com

It's at the moment only about intactivism.

@Men Are Human thank you, that was another thing I was doing on Facebook. I asked if people could not donate monetarily, if they had texts or equipment that may help.

@Indigo thank you

@Bobby_Hill I am trying to get medical textbooks to help me get the protections girls have when it comes to genital mutilation extended to boys.

I currently dont have the resources that I need. I would like to get hard copies of the books but for now e-book versions are good.

@Bobby_Hill I'm planning on starting with my state which has a fgm law. It states that religious and cultural reasons are prohibited. On that language alone just to start I want to challenge the fact boys are not protected.

I trying at the legal level

Maryland

No, but I hope that wont matter. I am a man though who has been severely harmed by circumcision.

By not allowing my self to be ignored.

Too much skin was taken that the scar and scrotum connect. I get rips in the skin because of the tension. Each time a rip occurs it feels like a cut.

I have had reconstructive surgery which did not work.

Its caused me to have buried penis. That's what happens to me.

Well I have to get back to work right now. I'll check back in later.

@Men Are Human I just noticed you wrote meanrehuman, guessing misspell. I will write something up to give greater detail. Do you have links to second hand sites?

Ok, thank you. I'm taking today off so I should be able to write it then.

@Men Are Human I sent you a PM the other day. How can I share my story on your site? I did not see a way to submit it.

I guess that would help lol

Off I go to do so

I dont see a sign up area

Ahh

No problem

I should still be out working

I actually shared my wordpress in the circumcision thread

https://walterfletcher3rd.wordpress.com/2019/02/05/lets-see-how-this-goes/

The great news so far is I have fixed one of my laptops that I can now dedicate to me fight. Bad news still no donations otherwise.

I did manage to get a lot of ebooks, still looking for hard copies.

I cant always have my computer with me.

If I'm at a eatery and I'm reading one of the books it may start a conversation. Yeah I dl them on phone first.

It's happened before. I'm a Uber driver and I have a pin hanging from my rearview mirror that says "genital cutting is not a parental right".

I still get people laughing when it comes to saying it's about boys, they think girls are the only ones mutilated.

One woman actually screamed at me that it's not the same even after I explained how serious I have been harmed by it.

@InsaneCaterpilla I agree, same with religion. Most I talk to talk about the importance of religion in a person life and when I state I believe teens should be able to decide which religion resonates with them I get weird looks.

@Men Are Human I'll try and do that.

I have a meme showing I believe 4 Jewish scholars that state the reason for circumcision being the covenant was to weaken mans sexual pleasure and to drive lust and desire from his heart.

Save that and present it to anyone that states FGM is to control a womans sexuality, circumcision is not.

Good news in case you have not seen it yet, but the state government left me a voicemail about the request for a detailed copy of the Fgm law for the state.

@Suzaku Kururugi fgm is required by the Dawoodi Borha sect of Islam.

If you have laws against one and not the other that is discrimination.

Look up the Detroit Fgm case.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/21/health/fgm-female-genital-mutilation-law.html

@Suzaku Kururugi no it should be the choice of the persons whose body is being altered.

It should be the man choice, not the parents.

Every circumcision hinders the full experience of sexual pleasure.

I've had to have reconstructive surgery to try and fix what circumcision did to me.

All circumcision on infants is mutilation.

Yes, I am botched. To me all men circumcised as infants are botched though because more is taken than if allowed to do it as an adult. If a adult chooses they can keep their frenulum and decided on how much mobile skin to keep. As a infant that choice is not there.

There is more harm done as a infant.

We do but our statute of limitations runs out when we turn 20 I believe. I never knew I had that option.

Look up David Llewellyn a attorney for ARC he may be able to give you advice.

I'd wouldn't mind the money, but would rather the butcher lose their job.

I'm currently trying to get my local government to extend protections to boys.

No, but I get rips behind the glans quite often.

I want an end to RIC

That's what I'm hoping.

Still have not gotten any donations.

I know

Already talked to @Men Are Human. But it's easy to find on GoFundMe if you want to look and give me feedback.

Cool, I dl'ed a good amount from z library.

Right now I do have a laptop dedicated to this effort. Do you know of any office suites that are cheap but as dependable as ms office?

Cool thank you

Ill have to study up. I like this idea. I do have a free access account to academia.com so hopefully I can get a start there.

I'll gladly accept any books on male anatomy, circumcision and even FGM.

I'll look into that. Right now I do have a list on Amazon just dont know how to share at this moment.

Besides I have to update it

Ok, where should I share it. I'll revamp it tonight.

I dont know how busy I'll be seeing as its Valentine's day

I agree with second hand. I do have one thing on the list that might surprise some people. It's a anatomical correct doll I have there for when I do protest. There may be one in April in DC i will be going to. I have a circunstraint and circumcision kit to educate, but without the doll and how its gone many may not understand when I try and educate.

Decided to update it now. I thank you.
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1VIIUKR122S2L

The Maryland Government directed me to this, it does not say anything about religious or cultural reasons for the cutting but I may be able to argue that the language and fact that there is only a law for females is discriminatory. https://law.justia.com/codes/maryland/2013/article-ghg/section-20-601/

Just found this https://law.justia.com/codes/maryland/2017/health-general/title-20/subtitle-6/section-20-602/

Just received a email with a pdf to the 98 Maryland code which just as the 2017 states does not allow for custom or ritual. So there maybe hopefully a way to start the argument.

This is my response to the email with the pdf.

Entitlement can be a severely offsetting thought process

Love Brother K, I have protested with him a couple of times.

@marksismeninist right now I am starting a campaign to get equality extended to boys when it comes to MGM. I'm starting with my state government.

That's more than I keep seeing. I usually see 117. Love the message though.

So now women will be held to the same punishments if they dont sign up?

Sorry I have not been around a lot. I usually work at night and sleep all day.

A lot I know say that was their original plan, yet I never saw action to do so. Only to keep women from it.

If they dont have to sign up how is it a victory, did this get rid of it all together?

I've been trying to focus on getting more done on the campaign. I did have a interesting ride the other day that I blogged about. The conversation of circumcision came up and there was a nice debate, but I'm guessing the woman lied and gave me a poor rating still. She didn't like that I said it should not be the parents choice.

She also decided to tell me I was in the minority who were harmed so I dont matter.

Yep

I have a new fb page, Campain to end child genital mutilation

Ok

Wow

The word peepee throws it off a bit but still
