End genital mutilation of children for all people. Make that all mutilation.

It's worth clarifying this to "non-consensual", since "ending genital mutilation of children" is the drum pounded by the anti-trans movement.

Of course, non consensual. But you can't ask a 3 year old for consent. You probably can for a 14 year old.

OMG, this is exactly the sort of thing that gives the MAGAt christofacists nightmares.
Keep it up.

Thank you! According to Wikipedia only 5 countries prohibit mutilation of intersex children. The other 190 countries do not. This affects as many people as have red hair. Being intersex is a normal and natural variation, not a disorder or mutation.
