Founder's Letter to My Newly Adult Children About Circumcision

January 2024

Multigenerational Soulutions

“We are a continuum. Just as we reach back to our ancestors for our fundamental values, so we, as guardians of that legacy, must reach ahead to our children and their children. And we do so with a sense of sacredness in that reaching.” - Paul Tsongas

Dearest Humans, (Originally Written For My Sons and Their Family and Friends)

In the pursuit of freedom, bodily autonomy, and the safeguarding of future generations, we find ourselves born in into battles that extend beyond personal spheres and ultimately we are at war and our greatest asset is the children of our species as they are the future and continuation and as we understand more about reincarnation and epigenetics we must incorporate the understanding that pain and trauma are cumulative and compounds multigenerationally.

I am fighting for our freedom, functionality, family, livelihood, safety, and our right to exist safely in our homes and our bodies. I am fighting for our rights to exist in this world without being experimented on and engineered for multigenerational deficit detriment and intentional degradation including that of physical mental emotional spiritual and financial limitations and targeted adversity. 

Circumcision of all children is wrong, globally.

Circumcision of all children is wrong, globally. I didn't know it was wrong when you were babies because my brother and your dad and others that I saw were and I didn't know what questions to ask. When you were being born I asked your dad and he said we should circumcise you and he was and I don't have a penis so I thought I was doing what was right by just adhering to the guidance of your dad and didn't question the purpose of the procedure. I was young only 20 when you were born and I didn't take my first anatomy class until I was 24. 

I didn't think about circumcision until much later when working with healing of brain mind and body constructs for my self and others that was in relation to childhood trauma. I later researched the procedure and its history and came to an undeniable conclusion that it does not fit the standards of medical necessity and is a human rights violation of the most severe kind.  I am going to touch on this topic as needed for the rest of my life and wanted you to be aware of the information of why it can be proven to be a human right violation and should be illegal for all children globally, male and female. I have started a movement called #WhatAboutTheBoys #ConsentIsEquality #TheyCutGirlsToo - this is a movement of consent consciousness and culture. It is a movement of education about human rights and the right to body autonomy and the right to informed consent. 

We can revisit this topic as needed and there is much research, healing supports and legislative change that will be coming in the future. I would like to start with a statement of acknowledgement of wrong doing out of ignorance and soulutions of awareness education love healing and evolution.  The truth is that you went through a very intense anatomical trauma at a very young age. You underwent a surgical alteration that wasn't medically necessary that you did not consent to and that changed the way your body grew. 

We have a better understanding of pediatric neurological development and such an alteration has consequences to the structure and function of the genitalia and to the brain. In anatomy, form follows function. That means that your body is shaped that way because of its function, for example, finger bones for picking things up vs shoulder sockets for rotation, teeth for chewing vs toes for balance, Lungs for air, heart for blood. Your genitalia, your penis- is shaped that way for specific functions, some of these include procreation and some include urination and some include sexual pleasure and intercourse. Your foreskin and the tip of your penis have functionality and should not have been removed. I did not know that in some cases it causes death to the baby. I would not have consented to the procedure if I didn't think  I was doing what was best for you medically and ethically and definitely would have declined if I knew it cause a baby to die. The skin is the largest organ in the body and should remain intact unless their is a medical necessity for alteration for example a deformity or problem with function. There is no other procedure that is legal that involves an amputation with out individual consent or medical necessity, especially on children.

I am a female and I wouldn't circumcise a girl and I believe in equal rights. If circumcision was legal for females, females would be circumcised and possibly very early like males near the day of their birth. I, myself, would not want to be circumcised and have the functionality of my genitalia changed for the entirety of my life without my consent as a baby. In some countries it is legal to circumcise females.  

In my understanding of medical ethics, medical laws, human rights, medical necessity, anatomy and physiology, psychology, and multi generational warfare, I conclude that circumcision is wrong for all children and it is the worst mistake I have ever made in my entire life and I didn't just make it once, I made it twice. I am not stupid or cruel and neither is the doctor that did the procedure. We have better medicine now and a long time ago we didn't understand pediatric neurological development, psychology, or medical ethics in a way that we do today. Science and medicine is always evolving and needs to be constantly revisited as we get new information. That is just how science works and takes time. 

I want to let you know that I hope that you love yourself fully always and that you always do your best to practice self care, self-love and self-improvement. I myself have been grieving this truth and this tragedy. I am sorry for not knowing what questions to ask as I was young I thought I was doing what was best for you. I feel great grief and sorrow for this mistake and can sense the children of the world crying. I am strong on purpose and I am a good mom on purpose and good parents make mistakes often, some bigger than others. Part of growth and healing is facing our mistakes. This mistake I have been facing and wanted to wait until you were older before talking to you about this as its hard enough to be going through puberty without questioning a surgical procedure that you had as a baby. You are both living a healthy and active lifestyle and that means mature conversations about sex and sexual wellness including birth control and sexual hygiene and when it is time, children. 

I am asking you when it is time to have children, please do not circumcise them even though you are. Please don't amputate and surgically alter them because they are perfect as they are. As a child grows, so does the brain. As a person hits puberty, their hormones change and so does their reproductive organs genitalia and brain. These are all very important stages in the human life cycle. The brain and sex organs will continue maturing into the 20's. Children aren't neurologically or sexually mature enough to be able to make a decision about their sexual organs or sexual or preference as it doesn't develop until later in life and that is why it is wrong that I made that decision for you both as babies.  

If you were to decide to get that procedure at this age, you would have to go to the doctor, and then a specialist, and then you would be informed of all of the risks associated with the procedure including but not limited to pain and sexual dysfunction. You would be advised that you should have support structures for your healing including but not limited to a therapist, support groups, and follow-ups with your doctor.  Those things do not happen to babies that have that procedure done currently and that is why it is not medically ethical. It is comparative to plastic cosmetic surgery and there are doctors who specialize in cosmetic alterations to genitalia for adults. However, the biggest difference between it happening as a baby and the procedure being done as an adult are the consequences to the brain itself. Since the brain is different at different stages of a human's life span, side effects of this procedure can also not present or be problematic until later in life.

I hope that you both have no major side effects throughout your life and that you have long-lasting vitality and strength your entire life. However, I do want to mention for some, the side effects can be severe and some may be mild. Some side effects are apparent like pain during urination or sex, problems with lubrication, some things could be subtle or compounded like depression, anxiety, and problems with communication, emotional processing, and problems with relationships and things like intimacy can occur and be related to this procedure.

I just want you know that I am sorry and that it is something that we can talk about as needed and will be something that I talk about in the future as I believe that it needs to be stopped for all children globally and the safety and functionality of our future generations is worth fighting for and educating people is one of the most effective soulutions for change.   61% of United States males are circumcised and the supreme court is petitioned under religious freedom rights to legalize the circumcision of females. The answer is not to circumcise females, the answer is to stop circumcising all children, including the males of the entire world - All Children, all races, religions, countries and creeds. 

When I first came to the conclusion of such a mistake, I asked God and the ancestors why they didn't speak louder, to tell me to study to ask different questions. I don't mind studying or going against the flow if that is what is best for the children. God and my higher guidance has told me many times that everything happens for a reason whether we know or understand the reason or not.... that there is grace even in great tragedy. In my grief I cried and asked god why it would let me make such a mistake. And your spirits came to me with their angel wings out and their swords of fire as sometimes they do when they have a great truth to tell me.... and your spirits said that the reason they chose me as your mom and went through this specific procedure and that I made this specific mistake, because If I didn't make the mistake (twice) I wouldn't be angry enough to change the world. I would just be happy I didn't make that mistake. I want you to know that you both are great healers and great leaders and makers of change in this world, that you have made me a better healer and leader and maker of change in this world. I want you to know that I love you enough to change the world. I love your children enough to change the world. I love the world enough to change the world.

Love Always,
