content: Un-gendering FMG and MGM I've been on some other places of discussion about the whole his/her body his/her choice when it comes to genital cutting, and a post I saw really sparked my interest in being able to further develop the cause of self choice for such an irreversible procedure.   Although it sounds like thinly veiled misdirection, hear me out please.  It's impossible to discuss MGM without someone bringing up FGM as a counterpoint (a rather lousy one at that akin to people playing the race card when it comes to crime debates) so instead of the duality between MGM and FGM, I propose a standardized acronym that gets rid of the oftentimes seen as extremist mention of mutilation.  I propose a unisex inclusive re-branding of FGM which would instead stand for Forced Genital Modification.  Not only does this discard the gender point that both sides like to harp on about, it also includes the often time neglected side of both men's and women's rights, the right for an intersex person to decide their own gender.   I'd love to hear other people's ideas on how to strip down the gender wall that prevents both sides from accepting that all kinds of forced body modifications are heinous.
