@KARiley40@octodon.social Yeah, a lot of these bills have explicit exceptions to allow circumcision/MGM and intersex genital mutilation. They are banning hormone therapy being done to people with their consent, and allowing genital cutting that is done without their consent.

@urology@hellsite.site @garfield That's the best reason to restore your foreskin, you get a secure place to store valuables.

@cody_wolfdragon Surgical attempts at foreskin restoration generally don't have great results. The methods I've seen use scrotal tissue to form a psuedo-foreskin, which is very different from an actual foreskin. Foregen is working on ways to use stem cells to grow a fully functional foreskin with your own cells, but they have a long way to go before that is possible.
I restored nonsurgicaly, which is a lot more common. You apply gentle tension to the skin over time to induce mitosis and cause more skin cells to grow. https://www.reddit.com/r/foreskin_restoration/ has a lot of good information about it. It took me around two years to get full flaccid coverage, then I took a break for around 5 years. Now I'm working on getting erect coverage. I'd like my scar to be hidden even when I'm hard.
Most doctors don't know much about restoration, and a lot of doctors in the US hardly know what a foreskin is. I would doubt that your doctor would be able to tell you anything useful about restoration, but you could always try.

@cody_wolfdragon Yeah, only a consenting adult should be able to choose to have parts of their genitals cut off. Male, female, and intersex children should be protected from genital cutting without their consent.
Have you looked into foreskin restoration? It has helped me a lot. I was circumcised as an infant, and I wasn't left with enough skin to fully accommodate an erection when puberty started. Erections were painful, and my skin would sometimes tear and bleed. Restoring fixed that, and I'm fully covered when flaccid now.
