They also just refuse to admit that gender-affirming surgery is almost never performed on minors. When it is performed, it's often as a last resort to stop the kid from killing or maiming themselves.
And they also say nothing about
circumcision
intersex infant normalization surgeries
ongoing breast enhancement surgeries for cis girls
Republicans did not ban those, nor they did minor marriages, but I will keep to the surgery related arguments.
At the same time, puberty blockers for cis kids with precocious puberty goes on as before. They only designate the transgender use as "off-license" with unknown long term side-effects.
How the fuck gender identity is supposed to interact with the exact same drug? This is pure hokum.
But you know the problem is that only you and me will read that. Vast majority of people are spoonfed transphobic propaganda from TERFs and Xitter. It is sickening how hard it is to get those simple talk points across nowadays.
They can't even justify circumcision. Every piece of medical literature that used to claim benefits has been refuted. And no shit, we evolved foreskins for a reason.
Too late for me though.
It’s not necessarily too late. There’s a nonsurgical method to regrow your foreskin with a bit of time and patience, and several companies sell devices for the purpose.
Here’s a video showing the process. (NSFW content about 1/3 of the way through)
Yeah, no thanks.
