On Quora, it was a BNBR violation to say I think having my clitoris permanently mutilated in a surgery performed without my consent was worse than rape.

I’ve experienced both. Their TOS prevent me from talking about my experiences. Their TOS prevent me from talking, as a victim of these gendered injustices, about their effects.

I was attacked for comparing the two experiences. And when I posted a question asking which people would rather have happen, that was considered a BNBR violation. Apparently I’m not allowed to ask questions.

What does it mean that my experiences are too offensive to even talk about?

Their TOS also prevented me from correcting a doctor who claimed the neural anatomy of the clitoris is including in OB/GYN literature. She posted illustrations that clearly omit the anatomy of the clitoris. And I posted cadaver dissections and illustrations to show what was missing. Calling her ignorant was considered a BNBR violation by many.

Pervasive OB/GYN ignorance of vulvar anatomy is wby I was harmed. But I’m not allowed to correct doctors without this being a BNBR violation?

So it seems like asking questions and presenting facts is not okay.
