Yeah or Wall of Vulva. My problem with this piece is it includes women who have undergone FGM, and I believe it even includes trans women. The inclusion of non naturally occurring anatomy undermines its use as an educational tool.

A great many women are not aware about the range of normal. I know I certainly wasn’t when I was younger. That’s why I see female genital cosmetic surgery as largely the exploitation of an ignorance. This becomes especially apparent when you look at who is getting them (66% virgins in one study) and their motivations (themes of feeling like they are not normal). A lot has been done to spread awareness over the last decade. Back when I was a teen, I became insecure only after googling because “labia minora” pulled up surgeons websites. There had been no modern normative studies at that time and there were no non-pornographic educational resources that showed or explained what normal vulvas look like. My OB/GYN refused to tell me how I compared to other women.
