We the undersigned write to express concern
1. that Australian law permits realistic depictions of only a limited set of female genitals in literature and film
2. that this limitation creates a misleading picture of normal, beautiful or healthy genitals
3. this false norm causes people to falsely judge themselves to be abnormal
4. this judgement causes inappropriate emotional disturbance and can lead to drastic measures, such as unnecessary cosmetic surgery
We ask
1. that the law be adjusted to allow realistic depiction of the genitals of all women (provide they are willing and of age)
2. that the law be adjusted such that any image of genitals that purports to be realistic actually be realistic
3. that manipulation of photographs or video images of genitals be limited to artistic productions only and outlawed in educational documents and pornography
with thanks
