      How the whole public discussion about FGM is being played out by WHO and groups like @SpeakoutonFGM . The lack of understanding and research pointed out by you was 'mind' opening

      Oh, sorry - I saw the old tweet with the link to the theater review. For the record, I do not support non-therapeutic genital cutting, no matter how relatively 'minor', if it is done without consent. I also don't like bad research and hypocrisy. There's a lot to unpack.

      Thanks for this clarification. We don’t support khatna/fgc because it is done to minor girls who are unable to consent.

      Yes I think consent is the issue as I argue here http://jme.bmj.com/content/42/3/158 … - so you oppose male circumcision and non-therapeutic intersex cutting also before an age of consent?

      Our campaign is banning khatna in India. It is practiced in our community, for the purpose of making girls “pious” (controlling their sexuality). We encourage others to work on issues of male circumcision.

      ha ha what a cop out!! The campaign is nothing but a handle 2 harass the religious establishment. "Controlling the sexuality"of the girls has been invented out of thin air by @SpeakoutonFGM. The religious texts say exactly the opposite - It says that it enhances woman's sexuality

      In fact it does “control sexuality” by causing trauma. We can agree to disagree, but we view your position as child abuse. Our religion can progress and respect human rights.

      To make sure I understand, your view is that parents generally perform khatna (cutting of clitoral hood in girls, removal of foreskin in boys) with the desire to 'control' girls' sexuality (i.e., cause less pleasure?) but not boys' sexuality, though the latter is more severe?

      Replying to @briandavidearp @SpeakoutonFGM @EnayatHusain

      Is ur claim that cutting clitoral hood necessarily causes trauma, and does as a matter of fact (thereby) 'control' a girl's sexuality (again, what does that mean?), or it is *sometimes* traumatic, and (thus, then) has bad effects on sexual experience? If latter, also true of MC

      I had thought your motivation for opposition was the lack of consent and the violation of a child's sexual organ, which applies to females and males alike. But now you say something about 'controlling sexuality.' This is a conscious motive, and only toward girls, in your view?

          I discuss the "different motives" claim here: https://www.dovepress.com/female-genital-mutilation-and-male-circumcision-toward-an-autonomy-bas-peer-reviewed-article-MB …. And here I argue that separate campaigns for female and male cutting will ultimately undermine the former (i.e., backfire) http://blog.practicalethics.ox.ac.uk/2017/08/does-female-genital-mutilation-have-health-benefits-the-problem-with-medicalizing-morality/ …. This is a children's rights issue; stronger when united
