jawg, i think you have hit on a big one here.
the beauty of realizing what happened for me was to realize that i was not crazy.
all the underachieving, emotional distress, helpless feelings, anger, etc...
all made perfect sense once i realized i'd been circumcised.
maybe it doesn't affect some people, but it sure affected me.

that little child in me was still kicking the doctor away, screaming,
"LEAVE ME ALONE!!! DON'T TOUCH ME!!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!" --
at the MOST inappropriate times. oh! jeez. i'm glad i found out and could heal the feelings so i didn't have to dump them on innocent bystanders any longer.
it was comforting to know that i wasn't irrational, just hadn't yet healed the trauma -- because i had no idea i'd even been traumatized.

i'm now writing a book about healing the trauma of circumcision.
and it oughta get some attention because i'm female. :)
so -- know this:

I AM *VERY* SORRY YOU WERE CIRCUMCISED
CIRCUMCISION IS A TERRIBLE THING TO DO TO A BABY.
PARENTS (and even doctors and nurses) WERE DUPED.
IT NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO YOU.
YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG TO DESERVE IT.
YOU WERE NOT BAD; YOU WERE PURE AND INNOCENT.
and
NOTHING ANYBODY HAS EVER DONE TO YOUR BODY CAN CHANGE WHO AND WHAT YOU *TRULY* ARE -- IT IS WAY BEYOND THE BODY.

and last but not least...
www.norm.org -- you can restore the foreskin by pulling the skin (never to the point of pain) and it is a very healing thing to do for yourself. there's a lovely supportive mailing list called 'restore-list at eskimo.com' (use the @). i hope to see you there. you can talk about it all you want there... everyone will understand.

love, patricia
