Is infant circumcision a medical necessity or ritual abuse hidden in plain sight? Join us as we sit down with Eric Clapper, a former Harvard employee whose one-man show, "Sex and Circumcision: An American Love Story," sparked so much controversy that it led to his termination and a tragic legal battle. Eric's journey from academia to advocacy unveils the hidden costs of circumcision, both personal and societal, making a compelling case for bodily autonomy and justice.

In this episode, we delve into the decline of circumcision rates in North America, exploring the ethical, medical, and legal arguments against the practice. We highlight the severe psychological and physical consequences of circumcision and the cultural pressures that perpetuate it. Eric shares insights into the historical and religious origins of circumcision and discusses how modern communities are beginning to reject these ancient practices in favor of protecting children’s rights, as we progress towards creating a trauma-informed civil society.

We also touch on the broader context of medicalized childbirth and medical trauma and the ways in which medical interventions, often deemed routine or necessary, can leave an energetic imprint no different than more overt physical abuse and sexual violations. By drawing parallels between circumcision and other medicalized practices, we emphasize the importance of informed consent and bodily autonomy for all patients, regardless of age, while respecting the way Nature designed our bodies, minds, and spirits to work together.

Eric’s experiences have driven him to pursue legal education and advocacy to combat genital mutilation at the state level. By drawing parallels to other harmful cultural practices, we stress the urgent need for legal and societal reform. This episode is a powerful call to action, encouraging listeners to raise awareness, support civil rights protections, and strive towards ending infant circumcision for a more empathetic and just society.
