The proposed model for clinical conversations about infibulation that Brady, Connor, Chaisson, Mohamed, and Robinson (2019) present in their Target Article encompasses a refreshingly nonjudgmental approach to dealing with deinfibulation as a clinical phenomenon and as an object of study. The merits of their approach are manifold: They recommend a truly sensitive and respectful attitude toward women with female genital cutting (FGC), and they highlight the urgency of seeing the wider context that may impact women’s choices in order to promote shared decision making in clinical encounters. Their lack of prejudice even makes them suggest that the diversity of genital appearance should be framed as healthy and beautiful. This is a crucial message in a time when global anti-FGM activism, ubiquitous in Western host countries, sends messages telling migrated girls and women with FGC that they are “mutilated,” disfigured, and not fully feminine (for critical discussions of this state of affairs, see, eg, Ahmadu, 2007; Catania, Abdulcadir, Puppo, Verde, Abdulcadir, & Abdulcadir, 2007; Johnsdotter, 2020; Johnsdotter & Essén, 2015; Johnson-Agbakwu & Warren, 2017; Malmström, 2013; Villani, 2009). Our overall point of view is thus very positive: We endorse the effort to create a framework that handles the question of deinfibulation with such nuance and respect for the affected girls and women. Our main concerns with Brady et al.’s (2019) Target Article regard how medical consequences of FGC are framed, as well as how their model and discussion disregard the importance of cultural change after migration and the effects of anti-FGM policies in Western countries.
