Labiaplasty and the Myth of Normal: Learn Integral Anatomy with Gil Hedley

- www.gilhedley.com In this video I challenge the language of labia "major and minor" and offer the option of "inner and outer" labia to correct the judgements of propriety inherent in the established language. I further convey the reality of variation of the human vulva to assure that there is no "right" or "wrong" when it comes to one's personal endowment.
For a detailed accounting of the human vulva, Explorer members of my site can watch Anatomy from A to Z, Courses 2 and 9~ Enjoy!

I appreciate you and the use of language Gil! Key statement-> informed consent…to be informed of the variable beauty of bodies! Thus, giving the parent and/or patient pause before reshaping. And I vote yes yes yes for children’s books by Gil! And getting them in every digital & print library!
I can see it, thank you!
Respect your work immensely Gil. Thankyou for covering this as well. To be honest I have incorrectly assumed we all looked similar until someone told me otherwise a few years ago ..so lots to learn even at 60 so watch you often thankyou
You're welcome Gail, thank you for watching, and, I believe many folks still share your earlier perspective, I am hoping that by sharing otherwise we can spare some folks confusion about their own gifts!
Gil~ your consistent teachings on how variable our bodies can be from one another is so helpful in having self-appreciation and acceptance. It tells me there is nothing “ wrong” with my body, it is beautiful and perfect just the way it is.
I’m going to share this. Thank you. ❤ Namaste🙏
Hi Lee, you put a smile on my face, the way you have received this offering and shared with me how it's helpful let's me know I am on the track I am hoping to be on!
I love this video especially Gil. This is quite a topic which I would love to dive deep in. Learning with you, my brain & heart are growing bigger and more gentle way. Thanks for helping me to bring the respect and awe to body forms. Thanks so so much for bring your work out to the world.
I appreciate hearing from you Vuthuyuyen, it helps me to know when I have hit the mark and the information is of service, thank you!
Once again, you remind us that the "norms" just don't exist. I love the image of a flower-and-that shimmy of yours when you talk about body shapes. Thank you!
They really don't! We are the norm, each and every one of us, normalizing our beautiful variation as the only meaningful, actual standard~ Woot!
I am a woman of 51 and still get creeped out on this subject..
I don't know if it's a Catholic Irish thing..
But thank you so much for explaining 💓
I always remember the class we had we lady from Africa and you explaining that we have
40,000 nevres in our lady gardens..
I hate that word as well.
So many women are having the operations I'm Turkey from Belfast
I always tell my friends
About tummy tucks and not to mess with their cells nevres endings wee gardens
There's a ton of stuff I am learning about my ow body
Thanks so much Gil

Is there a definitive number for the nerves in a given part of the female and male anatomy, people throw out all kinds of numbers that may or may not reflect reality
Hi Marguerite, I totally get the cultural/religious baggage that can get in the way of appreciating our gifts, and share with you in doing the work to get beyond early conditioning, as well as current cultural mind-frames. As you know from your work, it is worth it to buck the trends on matters concerning the body, better to go with what's truly healing when you discover it for yourself! As for "40,000 nerve endings," that is an enthusiastic misquote haha, actually it's more like 8-10,000, but numbers are far less relevant than whether or not we have created positive pathways for those potential sensations, that might be worth a video of its own! Love to Belfast!
There really are not definitive numbers, though there are some general ones, 8-10,000 for the glans clitoris, about 1/2 that for the glans penis, and many many more for the foreskin of the penis. I might address your valid question and concern in another video, thank you for bringing up this issue and for watching!
@@somanaut
I have been talking with parents in autism community,
So many confused children,
I don't know anyone who liked there own body as kids or teens
Parents aren't even educate
You should defo do children and adult books on so many subjects..
Especially about private parts
Until you told me about
Foreskin ...and hoe parents should clean
I had no idea.
I have many children with non stop direarra in nappies
Parents freaking out hoe do they clean
The children.
You should definitely do a child's book on that ,
I bet USA parents are the same
@@somanaut
It's awful , now designer ones are being offer as a holiday package
Bring the kids, and relax while having it done in the sun
At one stage I was going for tummy tuck
Watching your workshops definitely put Me of
Learning to love my Cells fat ones in all
Love across the pond

I love this video and I love that you have broached this topic! ~ This information is especially important for girls who are starting to look at themselves and wondering what "normal" is and are my most intimate parts, "okay" or "pretty." I want this played in sex ed classes!
Thank you my dear, I love that idea!
Dear dear Gil, Thank you for taking such an intimate subject that is often quite taboo and turning it into coffee table talk, lol! I am still trying to educate women today on where their vagina actually is! Recently one of my coworkers and myself took a waxing class. She could not find anyone to be her partner so I stepped up. The instructor also allowed ME to do a waxing since I was there. My co-worker and partner for the day could not stop apologizing for the "largeness" of her labia. Seriously, I was intrigued as it resembled a beautiful flower. I could not for the life of me figure out why she was apologizing about it. I wrote a poem about 35 years ago which spoke about the "flower of my womanhood" and to have her refer to herself that way just made me smile widely. It is a shame that the media has dictated what they feel is normal. No wonder so many women have hang ups surrounding sex! Thank you so much for this beautifully done video on something so amazing! What marvels the human bodies are!
Ahh I do hope to see the day we stop apologizing for our bodies and start enjoying their wonders on mass!
Thank you so much for this, Gil. I think all young women should watch this. Pornography really doesn't help!
Basically all doctored (as in digitally remapped) images of our bodies, not to mention just drawings, or carefully filtered body types, will skew the mirror in which we see ourselves and consequently conceive our self images. One of the things I love most about my work is witnessing our true, inherent, gift of variation, beautiful and fascinating!
Brilliant! You’re bringing the light on an important anatomical taboo.
You’re right. Words matter.
They really do! Thanks Jeff!
Again...Somanaut extraordinaire! I truly think if medical students had the opportunity to explore the "Heavenly Body" via of Gil Hedley... they would experience anatomical discovery in a more divine poetic sense of diversity and appreciation. Kudos! So grateful to have been in your somanaut classroom.
I love that vision, thank you Rebecca!
Thank you for using such inclusive language in your videos 💗
Ah thank you for noticing, I do feel that the body itself in its demonstrable anatomy as given by nature is not as binary as our culture forces it to be... nature is more variable then our language would admit! (Might be a good topic for another video!)
@@somanaut Absolutely! The reality is so much more interesting and I wish more people could be curious and excited about that instead of resistant! Maybe you can guide them there 😊
♥️ love your respect for the human form, in all its expressions
Thank you!
Beautiful perspective and beautiful spoken❤
Whether you like or not, you’re the best therapist ever ❤
Aww thank you, I am delighted to here of this accidental expertise! ;)
, , , not to mention the pleasure-potential enervation that runs through the inner and outer labia, and the body of the clitoris in the outer labia, that are at risk from such surgery.
Yah thank you for adding that Daven, that deserves another video :) Thank you for standing by and for our pleasure always!
So grateful to you Gil. Important work and message. In health x
Thank you Amanda!
Superb as always! Thank you Gil, I really appreciate your work. Kind regards.🙏💫💜
Thank you kindly Monica!
Such sensitivity,thank-you.
Thank you Barbara, I appreciate your kindness in saying so~
Preach!
I can't help myself sometimes, especially when I know folks are getting hurt out there for lack of a bit of basic info! Thank you for watching, and for your enthusiasm :)
Very nice. Thanks Gil. Muito delicado.
Thank you Gil!! ❤
I appreciate your interest Sabrina!
@@somanaut it’s more of an obsession really. Graduated to become an lmt 8 weeks ago and took my mblex 6 weeks early studying with your CZcams videos and website. Your dissection videos are so very teaching. Thank you for your work! 🙏🏻
Thank you for addressing this issue Gil! I think it's very sad that some women feel the need to have their labia surgically altered to fit in with an aesthetic that is very much influenced by porn. I mean no judgement of women who do have this surgery for aesthetic reasons, just the presures that lead them to do it.
Thank you for your comments here Grace, I'm here holding the banner for glorious variety, some day perhaps difference can become the aesthetic rather than conformity~
@@somanaut I am holding that banner with you! 😊
Thank you Gil!
You are always most welcome Angel!
when you know the female genital anatomy more than the average female 😁
Yah that's why I did these several videos: trying to help folks know their gifts better!
