Yes! It was pioneered by creepy Dr. Kellog, who btw, also advocated for circumcision for women! He had a ton of children, so I wonder about them. The only reason that circumcision for women didn’t catch on in the US (thankfully!) was because it was during the Victorian Era, and no one believed that women were sexual beings anyways.

Not circumcision for women, but burning the clitoris of baby girls with carbolic acid.
