I hate doing this because I worry that it will backfire. As you probably know from my other activity, I am for genital autonomy. However, people often bring up the idea that there are no benefits to female genital mutilation (FGM) when, in fact, there are plenty of claims:
Reduce chances of lichen sclerosus (https://bssvd.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/BSSVD-Position-statement-on-clitoral-lichen-sclerosus-final.pdf)
Reduce chances of clitoral phimosis (https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/gyn.2009.0093?journalCode=gyn)
Reduce yeast and bacterial infections (https://clevelandgyn.com/cleveland-clitoral-hoodectomy/?fbclid=IwAR3AfNS_DTavL05OK95slUPkLs0LalNGXe9JPgCV76vKCr-bWseKLHu_K-c)
If a person with a vulva wants to cut off parts of it to get these benefits, that should ONLY be up to that individual!
