I’m a trans masc survivor of female genital mutilation and it is so fucking hard to get proper counseling services because FGM survivors are constantly assumed to be cis women.

Cities from Coast to Coast are Proclaiming the International Zero Tolerance For Female Genital Mutilation. We want to say the same for the Provinces. Thank you British Columbia from the West Coast. Awaiting @FureyAndrew to do the same for Newfoundland & Labrador @CanadaFgm https://t.co/ZKioquvmvu

#ZeroToleranceDay 🧡 Female genital mutilation (#FGM) is a violation of the human rights of women and girls and remains a threat to girls and women around the globe, including in Europe. 🧡 The #IstanbulConvention paves the way for change to #EndFGM. https://t.co/1Y4tEAX15f https://t.co/TBMkJGYA1b
