Intactivism: March 2013 in Review

2013 Genital Integrity Awareness WeekAnother year has gone by and I still have not made it to Genital Integrity Awareness Week in Washington, DC. *sigh*

If a new site was to be built before RestoreForeskin.org shut down, it would require more than one person. QBMan, a Canadian restorer, stepped up and volunteered. Others volunteered to be beta testers.

We quickly got to work and in two weeks RestoringForeskin.org went live. It took a while longer to get the rough edges worked out. In fact, we are still working on making the site better. Read more . . .
