    Please elaborate on how Type IIa (by World Health Organization standards) differs so greatly. e: Also, why comparison is even relevant here.

      Please elaborate on how Type IIa

      defined as the removal of the labia minora

      two hairless, highly sensitive cutaneous folds located within the labia majora, surrounding the vaginal and urethral openings

      :-/

        Hmm, since prepuce (foreskin) is a hairless, highly-sensitive cutaneous fold covering and protecting the glans, why is it okay to remove one, but not the other? Or, since they derive from the same zygotic tissue and are homologous, why is it not okay to excise the clitoral hood?

        I keep asking these questions, and nobody ever has a good answer, and the only difference that I can divine is that one is okay because it’s done to boys.

          I don’t think it is good, but idk if it should be banned. A lot of guys seem ok with it?

          If it should be banned, there needs to be a public education push about why.
