sqad, //i sued the word "vagina" not as a connoisseur but as a layperson for all to understand, being an anatomist or otherwise.//
The use of the word ‘vagina’ creates misunderstanding – as evidenced on a recent thread on this subject. The vagina is not usually a part of the anatomy that’s affected by this form of mutilation.
bainbrig, //I'm surprised that the White Van Fraternity/Sorority hasn't pointed out that this is all part of the Great Islamic Conspiracy, which is now so deep that even prominent gynaecologists and lawyers are sucked in to it//
You’ve just tripped head first over your own smarty pants. When this appalling practice was outlawed in Egypt in 2008 a group of eminent men fought the ruling through the courts - doctors and lawyers among them – and before you say “That’s Egypt”, do bear in mind that people coming to this country do not abandon their beliefs the moment they hit our shores. Even though those men lost their case and that ban remains I force, Egypt still has one of the highest rates of FGM in the world. Denial serves only to render the problem more difficult to confront - and sarcasm is of no help at all.

//And I saw NO reference to ‘a renowned gynaecologist’, simply to a consultant gynaecologist. I would like to know his name.//
The "second opinion" was referred to as a "she", as I recall, Naomi.
I watched this program - presented by the now famous Cathy ("so what you're not saying is") Newman - last night. While the term "cultural" was pervasive, in the whole hour no-one thought to mention that this Somalian "cultural practice" is in fact a religious obligation.

v-e, //The "second opinion" was referred to as a "she", as I recall, Naomi.//
Thanks. It occurred to me after I’d posted that the consultant would, of course, be a woman. I would like to know her name.

That doesn’t surprise me. Will watching it be worth my while, do you think - or is it yet another fudged up waste of time?

Worth watching, I think, if only to show the amount of time on committees, reports, referrals, pious platitudes, sanctimonious excchyanges and community outreach has gone on in Somerset and Avon to achieve nothing.
And of course "Elephant? What elephant?".
