Genital modification and mutilation

Genital modification and mutilation mean changing or cutting someone's private parts. This is something that not everyone wants or needs, but some people choose to do it for different reasons.

Sometimes, people want to modify their genitals to make them look different or to feel more comfortable with their body. For example, transgender people may choose to have surgery to change their genitals to match their gender identity. Other people may do this simply because they like the way it looks.

However, sometimes people are forced to have their genitals changed or cut without their consent. This is called mutilation, and it is very wrong. It can cause a lot of pain and harm, and it is a violation of someone's human rights.

It's important to remember that everyone has the right to choose what happens to their body, and that nobody should ever be forced to have changes made without their consent.
