概要
In this episode of Changing Narratives, host Patricia Mars sits down with two leading voices working at the intersection of medicine, policy, and human rights.
Dr. Marci Bowers—the only surgeon in the U.S. trained in both gender-affirming surgery and functional clitoral restoration for FGM/C survivors—joins Sinéad, a policy expert working to protect transgender rights and survivor-centered FGM/C advocacy.
Together, they break down one of today's most harmful and politically motivated narratives: the deliberate conflation of gender-affirming care with FGM/C.
This conversation explores:
-
The real medical similarities and key distinctions between gender-affirming surgery and clitoral restoration
-
How "protect the children" rhetoric is weaponized to restrict both survivor care and trans healthcare
-
The policy strategies urgently needed to counter anti-rights misinformation
-
Who benefits from confusion, fear-mongering and false comparisons—and at what cost
This is a clarifying, timely and deeply necessary episode for anyone working in health, policy, gender justice or survivor advocacy.
Tune in—and help us change the narrative.
