      I mean, intersex kids often have “correcting” surgeries done on them at birth, but that’s never what they mean, is it?

      I decided, thanks to them, to go read a bit more on the subject, as the fact that it happens was all I knew, and it’s good to see some countries banning this practice as of 2024, so, at least, that’s getting some traction.

        Genital mutilation perhaps if you think any genital plastic surgery is mutilation but the post does specify female genital mutilation.

        As far as that first paragraph of the article, that still happens with down syndrome and anyother genetic abnomality in europe.
