    Pics from this year’s Female Circumcision Pride Week planning. We’re preparing for next year’s launch. Currently, #FGM laws in places like Kenya, Gambia, Nigeria prohibit adult women from getting circumcised. We will show the world that African women reserve the right to choice.pic.twitter.com/BR2EWgTJ1i

        Women, yes, but not girls and not "our daughters", OK?

        @CuttingVoices notice how every time WOMEN are mentioned with female circ, Western dumbasses hop into the comments to play God. “Make sure you do this, not that.” Like SIT DOWN! Women have access to abortions, but GIRLS are also granted those services. Why not regulate that too?

        Playing God is adults imposing genital cutting on people (of any sex) who aren't in a position to give or withhold their own informed adult consent. That is not "granting a service" and abortion is a terrible analogy.

        Because child genital cutting is not a service, but abortion does serve its intended purpose of ending an unwanted (by anyone) pregnancy.

        So when a 14 year old walks into an abortion clinic to get a pregnancy terminated you’re saying she’s consenting? You know intactivists tend to adjust their “age of consent” argument when it’s being used to justify what happens in Western cultures. Interesting.

        Why are people promoting genital cutting so determined to talk about abortion instead? In the west, it's anti-FGC/pro-MGCers demanding that for consistency Intactivists must be AGAINST abortion!

        African governments, and others can work sensitively with women's groups to prevent female circumcision conducted on non-consenting children, but they should NOT interfere with our rights as consenting adults and adolescents. We will NOT tolerate such gross violations in Africa

        But adolescents shouldn’t undergo type 3. Careful. LOL! Surprised no one came after you for that. Type 3, especially if it isn’t medicalized, should just be performed on adults.

        African women will exercise their inherent right to body autonomy, choice in Africa , or in the West, even if that entails breaking the biased laws. White women won the right to vote by engaging in terrorism et al.

        I love how the most extreme position that genital integrity activists take is to advocate for banning (male) circumcision for not only children, but adults as well. African countries do this for female circumcision and no one bats an eye. Giant overreach.

        👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 THAT IS THE POINT THEY KEEP MISSING! PUT IT ON A T-SHIRT, MAKE SIGNS. “WOMEN” are not the same as “CHILDREN.” Thanks. Seriously. 👏🏾 Because people are slow.
