I mean, from what I gather the clitoral hood isn’t a part of the urinary tract.
Just no banning the medical side of circumcisions and I guess we all agree. Maybe I’ll be seeing the intactivist movement later when all their arguments and views are defined. Have a good one

FYI, our views are well defined and our approach solid, in general. We have moral, ethical, and medical evidence to back up our point-of-view. If female cutting is banned, then so should male. Medical treatments are different than RIC.
-
And hey, male genital mutilation is banned as it falls under child protection laws. Circumcision isn’t banned for the same reason a labiaplasty isn’t banned. They *should* be used to treat abnormalities that can damage someone’s health.

All forms of female cutting are considered "mutilation". Why aren't male forms considered that way. There is a difference between medical surgeries that treat a condition (therapeutic) and cosmetic ones (non-therapeutic). Male circ is rarely therapeutic.
-
Labiaplasty is rarely therapeutic and is not considered FGM. Male circumcision is rarely therapeutic and is not considered MGM. What’s sexist about that? And by rarely I mean 0.006% of the planet’s population. Or 42 million people. Who would die without it.
-
Non-consensual female genital cutting is always considered genital mutilation. Non-consensual male genital cutting is generally not considered mutilation. That's what is sexist. Far more die from male circ than "die from not having it".
-
Just by the way, somebody pointed out that it’s actually ~210000 people not 42 million, sorry, it was 1 AM so math error, but the point still stands, a lot of people need the procedure.
-
Doubtful, but even at that, you don't cut before the disease or condition. That's not how medicine works. Medicine treats.

I mean, we amputated infected legs if there’s nothing else we can do. And tonsils, in cases of chronic infection. Sometimes in order to avoid doing more harm you have to do the surgery.
