Georganne Chapin and Marilyn Milos release their memoirs detailing their experiences and observations as leaders of the intactivist movement.
Georganne, a former health care executive and the nation’s leading anti-circumcision advocate, exposes the business of medical circumcision in the U.S., which amputates the end of baby boys’ penises even though there is no medical necessity whatsoever. In her memoir, Georganne weaves in her unusual upbringing and what led her to devote her life to “this penis business.”
Georganne is the Doctor Ruth of penises. She’s bright, witty, and a seasoned radio and podcast guest who has been on NPR, Radio Kingston, Armchair Expert’s Flightless Birth, The Holistic OBGYN, Sex Out Loud, and other outlets. Her opinion pieces have appeared in the New York Daily News, HuffPost, The New York Post, and Minneapolis Star Tribune. She has been interviewed by The New York Times, the Economist, the Guardian MSNBC, NBC10 (Philadelphia), WPSU radio, AskMen.com, SheKnows, First Time Parent, Mel Magazine, and South China Morning Post.
Georganne Chapin’s memoir of becoming an intactivist – one who actively opposes child genital cutting – delivers a powerful indictment of the U.S. circumcision industry. Motivated since childhood by an innate sense of justice, Chapin earned degrees in anthropology and sociomedical sciences from Barnard College and Columbia University. In 1980, recalling her baby brother’s trauma following “routine” circumcision, and having learned that most of the world’s men are not circumcised, Chapin relied on common sense in declining the surgery for her son. When he thanked her years later, she realized that not only had she spared him momentary suffering, but that for his lifetime he would enjoy the sexual pleasure nature intended.
