It is, though.

This:

In African culture, having a clitoris is, to put it mildly, a blemish. To force a child in that culture to forgo this trivial operation is much closer to child abuse than to have them undergo it.

Is not true. It’s not a trivial operation at all. And it’s done because it has a certain large, important effect, not because it has a negligible effect.
