A couple of days ago I decided that I’m going to start on my quasi new years resolution to get my local government to extend their protection girls have concerning genital mutilation to boys. I really want to impress and make sure that I have all the information they could ask for. I had decided to make a GoFundMe campaign. Now I have a little bit of a disdain for GFM as it allows for parents to make campaigns for getting their sons circumcised. In a way I feel if I can get the protections granted by using GFM it’s a better victory.

Currently I am trying to get a old laptop to work, it’s being stubborn and will not even allow me to do a clean install. I want to have a laptop dedicated to fighting for the protection of boys. In the campaign I am asking for about $5k to help. If I can not get the old laptop to work I will need a cheap new one. I’m also going to need reference materials like medical texts, anatomical models and access to paid academic sites. As I said I want to impress. I also would like to advertise the campaign by making a QR code to stick on bulletin boards and other high traffic areas.

I’m debating on if I should explain my own harm from circumcision because i don’t know if that will turn people off more than the subject already might.

I just shared a article the other day on Facebook about how protections are being pushed more for girls and intersex children as they can not consent to the genital cutting. It was interesting the title did not include boys as not being able to consent either. This is the mentality I am going to be fighting against.

I have already started contacting the state legislature about getting a printed copy of the FGM law, so far it’s been a week and no answer. I will give it one more and than maybe instead of a email I will call. Anyway here is the campaign link, tell me what you think and what I should add or take away.
