Like any politicised language, the use of intactivist terms like "male genital mutilation" has had a strong backlash from pro-circumcision parties. Understanding why intactivists use the terms they use can help to approach discourse from a place of knowledge rather than offense.

Intactivism is a political movement surrounding issues of non-consensual genital alteration including female and male circumcision and surgical reassignment for intersexed babies.

“Intact” vs “Uncircumcised”

Intactivists prefer to use positive term “intact” rather than the negative term “uncircumcised”. As one intactivist blogger points out, it is unusual to refer to a body part by the lack of a procedure performed upon it – an unamputated finger, for instance. The term “uncircumcised” therefore implies circumcision is necessary or pending.
