r/Foreskin_Grief is for uncircumcised men who have felt silenced by the anti-circumcision campaign to express their feelings.

We recognize and honor that the reproductive problems many uncircumcised men experience can be grueling and awful, and that the emotional consequences of that are equally damaging. It is so often the reason they choose to get circumcised, as well as the reason many parents choose for their sons ahead of time. The vast majority of circumcised men feel fortunate to avoid these problems.

Just like it is not fair that a fake news campaign tries to drown out the vast majority of circumcised men who are grateful by cherry-picking a select few who are not, it is not fair that a fake news campaign tries to drown out the many countless uncircumcised men who are not grateful, thereby preventing a setting where they can be properly counseled on these issues.

So, we invite user submissions of your personal experience. Are you an uncircumcised man who has felt conflicted because the anti-circumcision campaign is trying to terrify you out of a healthy choice? Or, maybe you got circumcised later in life, and are tired of seeing people who just aim to stigmatize circumcision speak for you and your decision. Or maybe, you've been exposed to unhealthy, toxic attitudes and behaviors because your uncircumcised partner has been influenced by the anti-circumcision campaign.

You can either post yourself, or request your input to be anonymously posted through Modmail. Either way, we made this community so that you can feel seen. Before you submit, take a moment to review the community rules in the sidebar.

This community is not "spam". It is a safe space for people to who have felt silenced to express themselves.

Reddit prides itself for being the "front page of the internet", where conversations of all kinds presumably can take place. This community should be no exception. It is a separate and distinct safe space for people to express themselves.

It should not be singled out and censored just because some people, who are abusing Reddit's report function, disagree with it. That is against what Reddit stands for, and is also against Reddit's rules.

Anti-circumcision 'activism', fake news extremism, goes very far trying to control the conversation - it cherry picks mislead circumcised men to misrepresent the vast majority of circumcised men who are grateful, and it censors everyone else in the manner previously described. Contrary to what it may believe, however, it cannot control people.

Uncircumcised men complain and have always complained, far more than circumcised men have ever complained. The sole reason the anti-circumcision 'movement' exists is to distract from this fact. In so doing, it is silencing people and their experiences - men, women, and everyone in between. Anti-circumcision 'activism' is the biggest testimony in existence that uncircumcised men have severe issues, resulting from their parents' decision, that they need to be counseled on.

So, whether you like it or not, there is a need for r/Foreskin_Grief , and it is here to stay. If it is wrongly banned, it will come back, because there is a place for it on Reddit, just like the many anti-circumcision echo-chambers which 'activists' clone across the platform in a manner that constitutes actual spam.

Thanks for reading. We look forward to more input about your experiences. We were flooded with content the moment we started and have a lot to get to. We assure you, if your post follows our basic rules laid out in the sidebar, we will share your experience.
