Summary
Marilyn Fayre Milos was a nursing student on the obstetrical unit in 1979 when she first witnessed a baby being circumcised. The only person to step forward to comfort the infant as it writhed and screamed in pain during the surgery, she was shocked when the doctor said to her: “There is no medical reason for doing this.” From that moment on, Marilyn became an advocate for ending medically unnecessary circumcision, protecting our children, and educating parents, the public, and medical professionals about this cultural fraud and violation of human rights. She founded the National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers (NOCIRC); organized fifteen international symposia; and became a spokesperson for promoting the genital integrity of all children.
A story of determination, service, and love, Marilyn’s memoir describes the myths, misinformation, and economic forces driving non-religious infant circumcision in the United States, where it has become standard practice. Listeners may find their own beliefs and assumptions challenged, and their hearts touched by this story of a life devoted to justice for babies and the adults they will become.

Marilyn's work and life story are incredible, my new favourite book.
Having been gaslit by my parents, doctors and society at large about infant circumcision my whole life this book was really important to me. From how one person can change the world to banjo lessons with Jerry Garcia, never a dull moment in this story. Here's hoping that genital cutting of all genders is made illegal within my lifetime.
