Just this week, BBC TV’s Victoria Derbyshire Show has been discussing labiaplasty (surgical alteration of the labia majora/labia minora ) stating that girls as young as NINE are requesting cosmetic surgery to alter their vulva!!
What on earth is going on? It’s illegal to perform labiaplasty and alter the genitals of a minor in the UK and most other countries around the world for no definitive recognised medical reason. It’s FGM – Female Genital Mutilation. What mother in her right mind would encourage her daughter to seek this out? What child of NINE would know enough to know that surgery was even possible? What is that child being exposed to?

Why is that mother not explaining to her that her body is changing and will continue to change for the rest of her life? Her labia today will be ancient history compared with her labia at 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, plus. She’s being exposed to information and presumably illustrations – be those drawn or photographic – of something way beyond her absolute comprehension at that age.
