That is simply horrifying. After reading about some of the fuckery that goes on even with newborn infants in Fausto-Sterling's book, hearing about this doesn't surprise me. It does piss me the hell off. It's bad enough that so many people circumcise newborn boys, but the fact that the practice is extending to females and intersex individuals, many of whom are already under later societal pressures to modify their appearances for the benefit of others, is even worse.
