We decided to make a little celebration. We have a big cake shaped like the female genitalia. We also make lots of pussy shaped jello, molded from the real thing.

Then we gather together around the big cake and when the song is finished, Dr.Z takes a big knife and cut the ‘clit’ of the cake. Everyone is cheering and applausing.

Then we have a little get together. I see someone smiling across the room. It’s Megan.

Megan: “How’s my sweet Sally ?”

Sally: “Wonderful. How’s my magnificent Megan ?”

Megan: “Happy….and clitless too” (whispering)

Sally: “Really ? Since when ? How ?”

Megan: “Well, actually I’ve been wanting it for a long time” (blushing)

Sally: “Then…..”

Megan: ”But you know me. I’m a chicken. So scared of the pain. But my fiancée is very supportive of me going clitless. So finally I thought, it’s funny for someone who cut clits for a living, if she herself is not cut. So a month ago I went for the cutting tube”

Sally: “Wow, congratulation…”

Megan: “How about yourself ?”

Sally: “You want to check me out ?”

We both laugh. We have some more girlie chit chat, then she tells me she has to go and promise to catch up later.

Funny how this clitoridectomy thing goes. The Egyptians has been doing it since the day of the Pharaohs. Then the tradition continues with the Muslims. In 1860s, a prominent English doctor named Dr. Isaac Baker Brown somehow brought it to the western world, cutting hundreds of women’s clitorises, claiming it cured anything from masturbation, hysteria, even epilepsy. Then he was expelled in disgrace by the medical community. But the practice continued in England and America until the 1920s, some even said until the 1950s. Then the feminists condemned African style FGM. The practice stopped in the western world. In the 1990s, even the Egyptian government banned it, and of course, the Egyptians and Muslims kept doing it.

Then just in the past 10 years or so, it starts gaining popularity in the western world. Started with women who married Muslim men and had to get circumcised, then the body-mods people also start doing it. Then about 5 years ago, it got so popular that the government had to regulate it. Only licensed clitoridectomist who had the training can do it, and only to women aged 18 and older. I’m one of them now.

“Sally Cutwell !!!” it’s Dr.Z calling my name. She smiles at me and hands me my certificate.

Dr.Z: “Congratulation Sally”

Sally: “Thank you doc”

Dr.Z: “ I didn’t quite notice that your last name is ‘Cutwell’ It suits you well. Cut very well”

I look at my Certificate, and smile at it.
