Before the transsexual mutilation chaos, the crisis of FGM preceded it

In this news report, the discussion of Female Genital Mutilation is brought up, which is one of the worst things seen mainly in the Muslim world, and preceded the transsexual mutilation seen in the western world today, mainly in the USA:
She remembers it all: How female relatives held her down when she was eleven, legs spread and genitals exposed. The fear that stiffened her body. The stranger in black holding the scissors. And the pain.

Like so many others, the 34-year-old Egyptian woman has lived with the psychological and physical repercussions of that day, when she was subjected to a practice many activists call "mutilation." For N.S., who asked to be identified only by her initials to discuss the sensitive topic, the trauma continuing into adulthood was accompanied by a desire to reclaim control over her health and body. "I had a feeling of being incomplete and that I will never feel happy because of this," she said. "It's a horrible feeling."

A global target aims to eradicate the deeply entrenched practice by 2030, and protect the next generations of girls, though campaigners acknowledge the difficulties in achieving that. The United Nations has designated an International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation, or FGM, observed every Feb. 6.

Prevalent in parts of Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, cutting has been performed in communities of different cultures and faiths. It can be viewed as a rite of passage or linked to beliefs about chastity or femininity and cleanliness, and be fueled from generation to generation by social pressure. "It's an entrenched social norm and really deeply rooted in cultural beliefs and sometimes in religious beliefs," said Nafissatou Diop, an official with the United Nations Population Fund. "So to be able to make any change, people need to be convinced that this is not threatening their culture."
No matter what faith it occurs in, it's obviously repulsive in all, and must be ceased. But the UN isn't suited to opposing the issue, since they've long sold out to Islamofascism, and if they won't condemn the Religion of Peace, they won't solve the crisis.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
