What’s the difference between a white woman looking at porn and coming to the conclusion that she wants to surgically modify her/her daughter’s genitalia and an African woman who wants to modify hers/her daughter’s as a symbol of ancestral values? Why is the first example legal?
Why male circumcision is an exception did males come down from the heavens directly. If male circumcision is allowed the female circumcision should also be allowed which is a very minor procedure compared to male circumcisions with no harm and trauma.

Please explain "no harm and trauma". Have you seen male circ done? It is very traumatic for the baby. Same goes for female cutting. Also, are you saying males came from the heavens directly, but not females?

The female child can walk out just within few minutes of the process

I have an idea: don't cut any children. Cutting children is barbaric, unethical, and immoral.
-
When nothing is cut how come it be called cuting of genitals. When every body organ is perfectly intact its just a nick or a scar. Not visible in few days
-
If you nick your hand and it heals, is that not a cut that heals? A cut is still a cut. Just because it heals doesn't mean it wasn't a cut.

In the spirit of equality, either both MGC and FGC ought to be legal or both ought to be banned. I vote banning both to protect universal right of every child to physical and mental integrity. Unless medically urgent, no child should be subjected to non-consensual genital cutting

Right but consent of child has many things at stake it has many yes and many no. It cannot happen that parents wait for the childrens decisions always. They are small and parents as a guardian has every right to decide about his/her child. Its a contentious issue .
-
Parents have a right to make therapeutic decisions until the child is of age. Parents should not have the right to make non-therapeutic body modifications to the child. Unless you think tattoos, intentional scarring etc are ok.

I think male circumcision is an unnecessary and unethical surgery if it is done on a minor. Genitals were designed by evolution and God and humans cannot improve on them. Of course I am also against any genital cutting/surgery on underage girls as well.
