Allie (She/Her/Elle)<p>At a local café and the staff were talking in support about Hadachek v. Oregon and Intact Global's challenge to expand protection from child genital cutting to all children including preventing circumcision of boys and intersex surgeries. </p><p>People are talking in support of genital autonomy this is not a fringe issue, less than 1 in 10 children are genitally cut in Oregon, and Oregonians are happy to fight for the rights of all children! </p><p>I shared more info with them such as our search for a plaintiff who has experienced intersex related genital cutting in Oregon. </p><p>Exerpt from my speech:<br>"I’ve been speaking up against child genital cutting for almost a decade with limited success until I moved here. Portland, Oregon really became my home because we also talk to neighbors here, and we know them. We know that they’re exceptionally diverse, and I believe we’re proud to fight for human rights because we know that. [Pause] <br> Many people assume that I was not affected by childhood genital cutting, but childhood genital cutting, including circumcision, affects more than just boys and men."</p><p>Alliana, <br>Founder of the Genital Autonomy Collective </p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/genitalautonomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genitalautonomy</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/intactivism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>intactivism</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/intersex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>intersex</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trans</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/transqender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transqender</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/CGM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CGM</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/MGM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MGM</span></a> #<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/GM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GM</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/FGM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FGM</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/genitalintegrity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genitalintegrity</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/circumcision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>circumcision</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/intactglobal2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>intactglobal2025</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/intactalobal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>intactalobal</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/hadachekvoreqon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hadachekvoreqon</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/GAC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GAC</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/bodilyautonomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bodilyautonomy</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/childgenitalcutting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>childgenitalcutting</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/cgc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cgc</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/mgc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mgc</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/fgc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fgc</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/igc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>igc</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/genitalautonomycollective" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genitalautonomycollective</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/aenderdiverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aenderdiverse</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/intersectionality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>intersectionality</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/activism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>activism</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/oregon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oregon</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/portland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>portland</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/pnw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pnw</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/cascadia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cascadia</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/pacificnorthwest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pacificnorthwest</span></a></p>
Allie (She/Her/Elle)<p># Hadachek v. Oregon Intact Global 2025 Press Conference <br>Please let me know if you find more news coverage on this. We at the Genital Autonomy Collective spoke about intersectionality at the Intact Global 2025 press conference and hopefully some of the news will also mention that. The Hadacheck v. Oregon case will expand opportunities for trans, intersex, and gender diverse people in ways that more people need to be aware of. Circumcision impacts gender affirming surgery options, and impacts our freedom as well, and we're fighting with the broader genital autonomy movement for our shared rights.</p><p>An excerpt from my speech: <br>"Genital cutting is often talked about in the categories of male, female, and intersex, but those categories are not distinct in reality. People inherently defy those arbitrary boundaries. Because of this, many of the children assigned male at birth and subjected to penile circumcision, or other childhood genital cutting, are transgender, intersex, and otherwise gender-diverse<br>... Circumcision, by removing genital tissue and creating scars, physically limits options for adults seeking genital surgery. This stands in the way of our freedom to make the choice for ourselves as adults just like it does for boys and men. We are working with the intactivist movement for our shared freedom." <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/S4-Cva6dVu4?si=uO4-J9OzUMfypDZD&t=5127" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/live/S4-Cva6dVu4?s</span><span class="invisible">i=uO4-J9OzUMfypDZD&t=5127</span></a></p><p>With attention and advocacy opportunities the challenge is bringing, The Genital Autonomy Collective is in need of more volunteers to help. Please message me if you're interested in supporting intersectional genital autonomy for all children in Oregon. While we welcome help of all kinds, we specifically need help with: Graphic design, web design, contacts with press, fundraising, social media management, writing, non profit experience, academic research opportunities, tabling events, etc. </p><p>Intact Global is also looking for Intersex plaintiffs who have experienced Intersex related genital cutting in Oregon at any date to add to the Equal Protection Challenge against forced, non-religious genital mutilation. As well as trans plaintiffs who have experienced penile circumcision in Oregon to add to the legal challenge.</p><p>Please email me at Allie@autonomycollective.org if you'd like to come forward as a plaintiff or are interested in volunteering.
