A Canadian Circumcision: Intactivism in Canada

2018-06-30に共有
I think that Canada actually offers a lot of opportunities for intactivism by its minority, but still high, circumcision rate. Watch the video, where I explain in detail.

    Thank you for speaking out about this terrible problem caused by brainwashing in our country. It would be nice if we had more formal protests such as the Blood Stained Men in the US. May I ask what province you are in? Ontario here

    The parts of Canada with high MGM rates also have high muslim and jewish rates, the parts of Canada with low MGM rates are usually the rural/countryside and French side like Saint-Isidore, Montérégie, Quebec and parts with higher Native American numbers have lower MGM rates. I recently had a discussion with a Canadian guy that's intact, he was telling me about how he got an infection on his glans because he didn't change his underwear for a few months, the doctor thought he had an STD but he was still a virgin (he was in his late teens/early twenties), anyways he changed his underwear and the doctor gave him an antibiotic, and the infection went away quickly. Had he gone to a U.S "doctor" he most likely would've been told to get mutilated. My mother is from the rural side of PR that has higher numbers of Natives, and my dad was born in the Lokono (Arawacos) parts of South America which is very rural, almost primitive but he moved to PR at a very young age and lived there most of his life until I was born. Basically what I'm saying is that we're more likely to get support from the rural parts of Canada because they're less likely to be PC like the big cities, because the only people I see defending it are going to be jewish or muslim. Being intact and living in rural areas seems to be a trend, from what I've gathered.

  • 26 year old from ontario here. i think i grew up when the rates turned for the better, though obviously not fast enough for my liking. you are right about everything. i have experienced a lot of this grief in my own childhood, with a single mother who knew nothing (still doesnt) of mens bodies, and trusted her lifelong pcp who convinced her i had issues with my own body. he had damaged my body through forces retraction. aside from this, nothing serious happened, but the entire ordeal is completely psychologically unnecessary. i feared as a ~9-10 year old if i told my overbearing mother what happened, she would guilt me into agreeing to circumcision. regardless, children should be playing outside and having fun. i still have to go to therapy and deal with trauma surrounding medical offices and advice of doctors because of this. canada has a real problem when it comes to defending ourselves, when it comes to nationalism, immigration, and education. id argue our healthcare is also the cause of cheap diagnoses and less interest in the male body on a medical (intervention?) level. ive seen middle aged women on facebook squawk that its still 70 or 80% circumcision rates (even now), and maybe socially i would agree, but in reality nobody knows these days. its really a 50/50 for my generation and the one after it. strangely, a lot of primary care physicians are still deep in the circumcision paycheck hole. additionally we have a lot of outsiders coming to canada and setting up shop, working in medicine here and making their own business for locals etc. i say this through gritted teeth; the "gentle procedures clinic" chain of clinics across canada are a disgusting example of our current healthcare situation. to me, they are simply anti-canadian as they do not protect their child patients (perhaps even from their parents?). trudeau also seems to favour more the freedom for religion, instead of protection from it, allowing clinics to promote their resources to jews, muslims, africans, and whoever else is still mutilating their kin. a lot of opinions such as "well, its better that its done safely than in someones house!" echoes to the public its not such a bad thing to happen bexause of its environment. the result however, can determine if someone goes to prison for sexual assault. fortunately, nobody that i know personally is against foreskin, or does not promote circumcision (whether or not they believe it CAN help is another story). unfortunately, ive had to curate my friend group so these talks dont happen.

    "The east coast of Canada it's pretty well gone (The Atlantic Coast)." Actually, genital mutilation of boys never was popular or common in the Maritime provinces. There are many misconceptions about Canada and "circumcision." One is, because the rates are lower that it should be easier to eradicate. Perhaps because the rates are lower there is also a lot of apathy about this issue. We have relatively few Canadian intactivists. Several of us travel to protests in the US, to the epicentres of the issue, in order to find community and be effective. Those tenacious Canadian intactivists (John Sawkey, Bettie Malofie, Jacquline Maire, Dennis Harrison, Lawrence Barichelo) who worked hard for several decades were mostly lone activists, isolated from like-minded activists other than by phone or snail mail. Their letters to Members of Parliament fell upon deaf ears, answered back with platitudes about parental choice, yadda yadda yadda. There are several opportunistic cutters who rabidly cut children. Complaints about them to the medical boards have so far gone unheeded. There is a climate of welcoming all nations to Canada and in the spirit of "multiculturalism" and being politically correct, cultural practices and religion are still not widely criticized, though lip service is paid to eradicating "harmful cultural practices" though carefully worded to condemn female "mutilation" while sidestepping male "circumcision." Talk is easy and cheap. Work on this issue with "boots to the ground" is difficult.
  • What if the there was a shift of focus, that highlighted the incredible benefits of keeping a foreskin and options to restore, rather than the negatives of losing it.
  • I checked the stats recently. Alberta was in 1st place with 44 per cent. Ontario, a close second at 43. It used to be ~80 per cent in the '70s.

    Gregory, can you review my Human Rights Claim I sent to the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal? They denied on the basis of me being outlandish in my reasoning. I need some help if any possible in properly formatting the complaint. Thanks in advance.
  • You have such a grasp of what's going on, Gregory- I was always curious what the deal was in Canada. You're like fucking Neo from the Matrix, (minus the hero's journey bullshit). Thanks.
