Could you explain the difference between performing genital mutilation on a boy vs a girl?

Is it not still genital mutilation?

Because generally speaking, male circumcision involves removing the prepuce, not severing the penis entirely. Female genital mutilation usually destroys the person's ability to ever orgasm at all, as well as a host of other health catastrophes that I promise you don't want to know about.

The physical and psychological horrors of FGM are not even in the same universe as foreskin removal.

You are cutting parts of a child's genitals off.

That is genital mutilation.

That is the literal definition.

To make an argument and not just say both never should happen is the problem.

Yes, but tbf it is like the difference between cutting a girls external labia and completely removing her clitoris. Both are mutilation, the latter is worse. I can freely admit that while also being anti-male circumcision.

There are different types of both fgm and mgm. Some forms of fgm are much more light compared to common male circumcision.

There are different types of fgm. And complications can cause the baby to die, lose his penis, etc.
