Take the F out of FGM

[ConcreteUnderpants]

Has anyone seen the shit the wonderful Hibo Wardere has been getting?
Trans activists are trying to get her to take the 'female' out of FGM (Female Genital Mutilation) and unbelievably they have been comparing themselves to victims of FGM!
Huge rage.

God they hate women so very much!

@HiboWardere on twitter

[LittleCabbage]

That sounds dreadful. Can you post a link?

[Lordfrontpaw]

I believe they managed to stop anti FGM legislation in some part of the US because they assumed it would stop sex alignment operations. for the love of god, how dumb are these people?

[ChurchOfWokeApostate]

The guardian have been calling it ‘Forced Genital Mutilation’ I’ve seen.
Whatever problems females have, they always have to have 10 times worse 🙄

[SarahTancredi]

I wish I could say I'm.surprised however I have seen for myself on Twitter , a fgm survivor being told she has cis privilege and to shut up.

[OldCrone]

I haven't seen this, but the Guardian published an article the other day which started with this line:

Covid-19 school closures have exposed children around the world to human rights abuses such as forced genital mutilation, early marriage and sexual violence, child protection experts say.

Omg
Hibo Wadere on The Happy Vagina podcast is one of the most moving things I've ever listened to. How dare they? Seriously?

[lifeissweet]

FFS.

Forced? Seriously? Like there is another kind? Who freely agrees to have their clitoris cut out without being forced? It's totally unnecessary

Plus - it happens ONLY because the girl is FEMALE and female sexuality needs to be suppressed.

World has gone mad....

[ValancyRedfern]

I've seen this happen to a few campaigners on fgm on twitter. @radfemjana as well.

It makes me sick.

[Lordfrontpaw]

Anyone got a link to Hibos story - quick i need it fast!

Heres Jana Cornel's reply to JK Rowling.

Thank you for saying this. I have been told not to speak out about female genital mutilation because it's "transphobic ". How am I able to campaign for myself and millions of my sisters who have also suffered if I can't recognize sex?

Here's Hibo's video. I forgot to post this the other day because all the JKR stuff was kicking off.

Hibo is not the sort of person who would make a video like this unless she really was at the end of her tether.

It's absolutely despicable

[Crystaltree]

Maybe forced is better. I massively disagree with male circumcision as well, and forced might open up the debate on this.

[SarahTancredi]

No it's not a better word.

The two things are done for entirely different reasons.

Whereas boys absolutely should be left alone I find it disturbing that they would do it without medical necessity, but we do need to be able to discuss what happens to little girls without having to centre boys in order for anyone to give a shit it happens

[SarahTancredi]

If men want to campaign about boys being cut they should go ahead. There would doubtless be heck of alot of support from near enough everyone .

But they really need to stop piggy backing on stuff done by women about women and girls . Nothing in the world is stopping them from doing it about boys themselves

[OvaHere]

Hibo is brilliant. It's shocking that they would target this woman and this campaign.

There really is no depths they won't plummet to.

[vulvachips]

how has it got to this?

[Goosefoot]

Yeah. I think male and female circumcision are different enough in effect, and they also come out of quite different purposes generally speaking, that you really need to treat them as separate.

[QuentinWinters]

I was wondering how long it would take for the "what about boys?" brigade to rock up

[midgebabe]

I was reading sometime that even withIn FGM it is necessary to understand the culture in which it operates in order to be able to tackle it

[vulvachips]

yeah let a man take up that cause

[Focusanddetermination]

I've been full of rage all this week so far, I feel like it's eating me. This is far beyond wrong. Not going to engage with these picks on twitter (and think I'm still blocked until I give them a mobile number anyway) but would love to know where to focus this rage for best effect (safely, perhaps anonymously, I need my job)
