Intersex Genital Mutilations (IGMs), i.e. non-consensual, medically unnecessary, irreversible, cosmetic genital surgeries, and other invasive 'therapies' on children with variations of sex anatomy, have been perpetrated systematically since 1950 all over the 'developed' world.

IGMs include clitoris amputation/'reduction', castration, 'masculinising genitoplasty', forced vaginal dilatation, imposition of hormones, human experimentation, forced excessive genital exams, photography, and medical display.

IGMs cause lifelong serious physical and psychological suffering and trauma, including loss or impairment of sexual sensation, painful scarring, impairment or loss of reproductive capabilities, lifelong dependency of artificial hormones, significantly elevated rates of self-harming behaviour and suicidal tendencies, and lifelong mental suffering and trauma.

For 21 years now, survivors as well as human rights and ethics bodies have denounced IGMs as fundamental human rights violations, and called for legislation to end them.

IGMs at '53rd ESPE 2014' Paediatric Convention in Dublin

The '53rd Annual Meeting of the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (ESPE)' held at the Convention Centre Dublin (CCD) promotes the entire range of IGMs, and its speakers include not only some of the world's most notorious IGM paediatric endocrinologist, e.g. Peter Lee (Pennsylvania, USA), Olaf Hiort (Lübeck, Germany), and Nils Krone (Birmingham, UK), but also leading specialised IGM paediatric surgeons, e.g. Alaa El-Ghoneimi (Paris, France), and Joao Pippi Salle (Toronto, Canada).

Despite not wielding the scalpel themselves, paediatric endocrinologists have been the originators and leaders of systematic IGM 'treatments', and ESPE's 'DSD Working Group' is a leading global player in setting national and international IGM 'medical guidelines' propagating 'early corrective surgeries', e.g. 'to relieve parental distress'.

This announcement surely deserved supportive comments.
Has Ireland not moved on at all since I was there?
Well, I can imagine.... when I was young.... an Irish mother looking down at her new baby girl with a big clitoris... the mother in consternation at the possibility that anyone might see her baby's clitoris and comment on it..... the mother's desperation to get rid of this shameful appendage to spare the mother's blushes.... and NOT A THOUGHT FOR HER BABY'S FUTURE WELLBEING, which would include a lifetime without sexual pleasure and the knowledge of having been betrayed and mutilated at her mother's request.
What kind of a mother would do such a thing to her own child?
Go to those meetings.
