He gets jailed, for modifying the bodies of consenting adults. What about Susie Green, who's child was too young to give concent and is now permanantly sterile?

Good point. Comparison's also been made with FGM.

Hmmmn not sure. The case against him was that he wasn't qualified to carry out the procedures, and his premises were unsuitable.

Just why would you want to get your ear or nipple removed???

The Mail covered this (warning - gruesome images)

I suppose the lack of qualifications could be similar to the trans activists targeting children in schools? How are they 'qualified ' to recommend removing sex segregated facilities from children? How are they qualified to advocate the use of hormone blockers? (bit of a reach I suspect).

Maybe those handing out breast binders to children below the age of consent and girls being harmed by using them? Under age so couldn't consent and if real harm was done?

There are no qualifications to cover this 🤷‍♀️ and the premises were approved under the councils ‘special licence’ scheme (which covers tattoo studios and body piercers as well as beauticians and waxers and electrolysis and places that do dermal fillers etc).

Conditions for special licences vary from council to council, and are granted by environmental health departments.

The government started logging women’s genital piercing as FGM a while back. Now I get asked questions at smear tests (I just have some 20 year old piercing scars) 😂

Really? If so, how do we know all those reports of women in the UK having FGM are correct? This is as bad as logging transwomen as women in crime statistics.

You are right GrumpyGran that hadn’t even occurred to me.:/

Here’s a 2015 article from when the rules came in:

www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/women-with-vaginal-piercings-will-be-recorded-as-suffering-fgm-under-new-nhs-rules-10116464.html

Having read it I can understand why there could be a benefit in HCP’s trying to ascertain as to whether there was any coercion/control involved, but a surface clitoral hood piercing (as a common example) isn’t at all comparable to FGM

You’d like to think they at least have a differentiating coding system, a - I’m a 40 something mother of 3 and have been extensively tattooed over a 20 plus year period- there is no way I got to look the way I do without it being my active choice (within the parameters of choices not being made in a vacuum) and the thought that my personal decisions could be muddying the waters as to collecting accurate statistics on serious issues affecting vulnerable women and girls is quite horrifying.

I wonder if we could do a freedom of information request to at least find out if it is all lumped in together?

This reminds me, I’m due a smear - I will get on and book it and ask the nurse how they record these things and if the answer doesn’t clarify satisfactorily I will make a request for copies of my own relevant medical records (presumably the information would be recorded there as well as anonymously submitted to a statistical database).

I think anyone involved with giving puberty blockers or binders to a child is wide open for a future law suite and rightly so.
