Its been illegal in the UK since the 80's - not one single successful prosecution. 'They' hold 'cutting parties' One case every hour according to GP's. It's being ignored because 'culture'.. apparently?https://twitter.com/BorisJohnson/status/1049341344467079168 …
I take your point: whilst I have no issue with it performed medically, it is still done culturally to babies and deaths reported through infections. FGM is vile, but do think it’s mixed up with the practice of allowing circumcision.

It could be a case of reticence to prosecute in case of inevitable 'whataboutery' but fgm has a specific law regarding it - & too many non-jewish little boys have foreskins removed for medical reasons to even consider lumping it in together
