Oh yes, WE are the ones obsessed with genitals, and not the 18 year old who wants to surgically remove her entire healthy vagina. /s

I find this shit incredibly disturbing, and any doctor who is willing to perform this operation deserves to have their medical license revoked. The ignorance is astounding, too; your vagina isn’t just a hole to have sex with. These surgeries can be dangerous, and cause long term health complications. Not to mention the incredible risk involved with having an elective surgery in the first place! The fact that a teenager can go and have healthy organs removed from her body sounds like ENCOURAGING mental illness, not alleviating it! We don’t give liposuction to people with eating disorders, we don’t hand over razors to people who self-injure, we don’t allow euthanasia for suicidal people, etc. Why is this different? Why are we okay with, and celebrating, young, physically healthy people to permanently mutilate their bodies and damn them to a lifetime of medications and health problems?
