== Hi, why FGM? == 

 Hi Folks, 

 Why is there a reference to FGM? 

 No seriously.  The issues are totally different.  Hear me out. 

 I cannot have children because of what was done to me.  Additionally, because it was done in the USA, there is no accountability. 

 I just get to live in physical pain for my whole fucking life.  Thanks. 

 Where is FGM legal? 

 I can name a place where somebody can mutilate sombody's genitals and if there's no physical problem that a 2 year old infant can identify there's no legal problem and no legal recourse. 

 Where is that true of FGM?  Where, when a cisgendered female is mutilated at birth, do we give her any sympathy?  Oh, I forget, that's EVERYWHERE. 

 Here is my suggestion that never gets listened to: we talk about this in the context of my body, my choice 

 What the fuck is wrong with demanding my body my choice even though I was assigned the male gender at birth and thus had no choice in what was done to me.
