…あともう一つ、FGM/Cを禁止する法律はほとんどの州と連邦法にあるんだけど、このところ共和党がトランスジェンダー医療をそれに含めようとしているんだよね。FGM/Cとそうでない行為を区別するために「医療目的でない」という言葉がよく使われるんだけど、トランスジェンダー医療は医療ではない、として（少なくともトランスマスクな医療は）FGM/Cの一種として禁止・処罰しようとしている。移民とトランスジェンダーという2つのコミュニティが迫害を受けているときに、そこにさらに油を注ぎかねないのは困るし、それが理由となって性暴力やDV被害者の権利が守られないのもまずいよ。なんで同じ法案に盛り込んだんだ…

…ただ問題なのは、この法案には反対尋問の部分より女性器切除(FGM/C)の被害者の権利についての条項がずっと多くて、そっちがメインになってしまっている点。ワシントン州にいる住民のうちFGM/Cが行われている・いた文化を背景に持つ最も大きな集団はソマリア人移民で、いま現在ミネソタ州に続いてワシントン州でも極右インフルエンサーの扇動によってソマリア人コミュニティに対する激しいバッシングが起きているのに、わざわざFGM/Cについて大げさに騒ぐのが良い結果をもたらすようには思えない… 被害者の権利擁護だけならもっと目立たないかたちで法律にできるのに、と思ったので議員にメールしといた。…

REIN THEORETISCH stimmt das more or less. Die WHO stuft etwa auch Genitalpiercings (alle nicht-medizinischen Eingriffe) als FGM ein ABER die ersten 3 Typen von FGM/C sind "natürlich" die, um die es geht - und deren Ausübung es zu beenden gilt.

Bin grad unterwegs & kann mir die Studie nicht genau anschauen aber wie @veelana.bsky.social grad schon geschrieben: wir THE RAIN WORKERS arbeiten aktuell mit 3 kenianischen (von Kenianerinnen geführten) CBOs an #TogetherWeEndFGM zusammen. FGM/C ist "natürlich" eine schwere Menschenrechtsverletzung.

The latest iternation of the Protect Children's Innocence Act dangerously conflates trans health care with female genital mutilation and cutting. That has made it more difficult to pass laws trying to actually stop FGM/C, an extreme form of gender violence.
