Unable to practice religion due to circumcision.... It makes me MAD!

[cresco]

I was raised Christian but I had a feeling that the religion was fake because it did not reflect anything evident in nature. I knew that if there is a God it should be based on nature. After doing some studying I came to the conclusion that God is happiness because that is what all things strive for, the happiness (peace/love/calmness). I believe that Sex is God's most precious gift to us and our sexual organs are also the most sacred part of our body because it gives us the greatest pleasure/happiness that we can receive in this physical body.

Do you see where I'm going with this? It feels like I've been ripped off of a sacred gift. I can never feel the greatest happiness/pleasure in this body because someone sliced off the skin for some unknown reasons...

The worse part is, my parents are Christian but they are not religious. They believe in God/Jesus but they never go to church. The reason why my skin was sliced off is because the doctor said it was "healthier"...

Now, I do not blame my parents because obvious you see a guy who studies this stuff in a white coat and you think you can trust him, but it just makes me so angry that sexuality isn't really discussed with my parents so I'm embarrassed to bring it up.


Circumcision was done against my will. I know parents have control over their children but unless it's a life or death situation, why should the parents be able to slice of a part of a child's body? This effects them FOREVER, even when they are adults (18) and considered FREE. It's not fair.

I'm SICK of society oppressing sexuality.
I'm SICK of people assuming that everyone is straight.
I'm SICK of people forcing "male" and "female" roles upon everyone.
I'm SICK of people denying themselves since they care what others think.

Most of all, I'm sick of MYSELF, unable to express himself. Unable to speak aloud but cowardly types this anonymously on the internet.

I feel in my heart that it's wrong to force people to deny these greatest gifts of our physical bodies (sex/intact-organs), and that it's wrong for people to deny their sexuality, and that it's wrong that woman can now take on masculine roles, but men are criticized for being a bit feminine whether or not they are gay.

I know that as time passes, in the future, there will be a day where "individuality" is cool, instead of "normality". A day where straight guys can show their feminine qualities without being called "gay" and where there is no shame in being gay. A world where people can openly talk about their sexuality and nothing is shameful about seeing nudity on the television... A time when people will have the free will to walk outside nude without people automatically thinking "sexual" thoughts, but will see the nude person as a BEAUTIFUL display of human nature....

This is my hope....

There are already wonderful people like the intactivists working on the right to having a natural sexual organ, and I'm happy that these things are happening already but I DO SO WISH that I, MYSELF, will stop being a coward and will be able to speak out for what I believe in and that I will express myself as I do here as with other people.

I'm working on not caring what people think and it really is a hard task, I wish I'll be able to do it. The quicker people learn not to care about other people's opinions of them, the quicker we will progress into this age of absolute freedom of expression, this age that I'll call the "age of maturity"...

I hear you comrade. Your pain and anger are mine as well.

You are no coward as you are still alive, living with the consequences of having your most important rights violated. Such deserves praise. Be careful of negative self talk, we can talk ourselves out of great things.

If you wish to become a better spokesperson for genital integrity I suggest you read as much as you can on the issue and learn how to debate logically. On youtube, lazyperfectionist1 has a fantastic series on logical fallacies seen here:

I've come to learn recently that I must heal myself and fortify myself before I bring this struggle into the real world arena.

You are not weak. You are (as I am) new to the game. Let us both adapt and rise to fight for basic human rights.

I also have to say that I am quite pissed off about not being able to feel sex as I should have, as I deserved to. This madness needs to end.

Since Tally's site is off air at the moment, can anyone tell me how to read the original post on all these threads? Easy on the other site. It's probably simple and I would be grateful, Dave.
