genital mutilation, IGM
@polychrome @SuperCee@plush.city @ifixcoinops@mastodon.social Oof. Forced surgical gender reassignment isn't uncommon for intersex children/infants. https://intersexroadshow.blogspot.com/2011/04/intersex-genitalia-illustrated-and.html I wonder if that was part of the inspiration for this.
There's also David Reimer, who was surgically reassigned to female after a botched circumcision when he was 6 months old. The "no indication of supporessed trauma related to gender alteration" reminded me of Reimer. The doctor who operated on him promoted doing the same thing to other children, including intersex children, in medical papers, until Reimer came out against it publicly as an adult.
