Circumcision
Letters and Opinions
I live in the Pacific northwest portion
of the US. I retired some years ago and
acquired my first computer and got online.
At that time I knew next to nothing about
circumcision or any other forms of genital
mutilation. My education about all forms
of circumcision came primarily via the
internet.
I was somewhat shocked that I had lived
on this planet for well over half a century,
yet was so naive about this topic. I found
that like many others, including medical
personnel, I was woefully under-informed
about the basic functions, purpose and
inherent value of that portion of the male
genitalia called the foreskin.
The term itself is a misleading misnomer.
It is far more than ‘just skin’. Physically
it is the centre of sexual sensations.
Mechanically it is a unique design, which
enables protective and sensory functions
to be accomplished. Emotionally, because
it is a vital portion of the sex organ, it is
a key segment of self-identity and gender
identity. One of the primary ways we identify
others and ourselves is by gender. We
have specific sex organs, which define us
as male or female. When the sex organ is
assaulted or surgically altered it denigrates
and defiles the core of our identity. I believe
this applies to male, female and those
born with ambiguous or intersex genitalia.
The entire concept of adults desecrating
the genitals of infants and children was
most unsettling to me. I had many negative
thoughts about our species. I found
it unconscionable that we humans would
socially accept such ‘barbaric’ practices on
our own offspring. Yet the proof was there
before me as I read the reports and articles
on the internet.
I mused about the relative heinousness
of whether it is ‘worse’ to end a
person’s life through war or other acts
of violence, or to maim the individual
physically in some way thereby consigning
them to suffer the consequences for the
remainder of their life. While the loss of
limb or other body function weighed heavily
in this mental balance, the intentional
egregious assault on the individual’s gender
identity via some form of genital mutilation
seemed to be the most dastardly act.
It saddens me deeply when I learn of the
atrocities we humans commit on our own
kind. I recognise that I cannot change the
world and rectify the ills that beset us, or
we inflict on ourselves.
However, I can help in some small
way with the education process, which
may help eradicate those tendencies.
In regards to circumcision and other forms
of genital mutilation, I acquired my personal
‘enlightenment’ and subsequent opinions
through self-education via the internet.
This was done with thanks to those who
provided the information. I believe others
will come to similar conclusions when the
information is made available to them.
So please accept my sincere thanks for
providing a circumcision information section
on the byronchild web site. I hope it will
allow others to engage in their own self education
process and perhaps motivate them
into taking action to counter the demeaning
practices of genital mutilation which plague
various societies and cultures of our world.
Circumcision is a destructive act. Foreskin
restoration is a physical and emotional healing
process. Unfortunately I do not know of
a similar physical process whereby females
and intersex may physically recuperate
from their genital wounds. Circumcision is
a SCAM.

“How To Meditate
Deeper Than a
Zen Monk!”
If you’d like to meditate as deeply (actually
more deeply) than a Zen monk, literally at
the touch of a button, this may be one of the
most important messages you will ever read.
Here is why.
Based in part on Nobel Prize-winning
research on how “complex systems” (human
beings, for instance) evolve to higher levels
of functioning, a personal growth program
has been created utilising a powerful audio
technology called Holosync®.
A precise combination of audio signals gives
the brain a very specific stimulus that creates
states of deep meditation — and causes the
creation of new mind-enhancing neural
connections between left and right brain
hemispheres.
Now a New CD and Report Reveal ...
• The scientific evidence proving how
Holosync® increases the production in the
brain of many vital neuro-chemicals that
can slow ageing.
• How to achieve super-deep meditation, at
the touch of a button.
• How to dramatically reduce stress.
• How to create remarkable emotional
