Earlier this year, ABC's "20/20" program had a segment about people with "ambiguous genitalia" (hermaphrodites) and the medical controversy about operating on hermaphroditic babies to remove or reduce the enlarged clitoris for "cosmetic purposes". The lesbian and intersexual communities are claiming (rightly so, IMO) that such an operation is genetic mutilation, and that people who have had such an operation have physical and psychological damage as a result. Among the problems are painful sex because of the scar tissue, a feeling of asexuality, and inability to have an orgasm. Here's the article related to the TV program: http://abcnews.go.com/sections/2020/DailyNews/2020_intersex_020419.html
