Genital Autonomy and Sexual Well-being

摘要: The purpose of this study is to survey recent arguments in favor preserving the genital autonomy children—female, male, and intersex—by protecting them from medically unnecessary cutting practices. Nontherapeutic female, intersex practices each fall on a wide spectrum, with far more common than generally understood. When looking across cultures comparing like cases, one finds physical, psychosexual, symbolic overlaps among three types cutting, suggesting that shared ethical framework needed. All children have an interest autonomy, regardless their sex or gender.
