The statement followed a report in The Times that a federal health official had urged the removal of age minimums from treatment guidelines for transgender minors.
If someone was born with a chromosomal defect, or something that has left them in a state of not being quite a man, or not quite a woman, I think they should be allowed to elect to be whatever sex they want to present as. These are the people who need these kinds of protections.
If Gender doesn’t equal Sex, then we shouldn’t be using surgery to change people’s sex. You can be whatever gender you want in the body you’ve got; and society should just simply learn to deal with it. There should not be a crowd of people trying to convince others that they need to change their body to “fit” the gender they want to be.
Let’s stop conflating Gender with Sex, and using these pseudo-scientific quacks to change people’s bodies on a whim. That goes for cosmetic surgery too, in my honest opinion.
Seriously. Anyone thinking kids should be allowed to cut off or add body parts on a whim is an absolute moron. Kids’ brains are not even close to fully formed. If you’re an adult and you want to sew extra fingers on or whatever, then go for it, but kids should not be making those kinds of choices. This shouldn’t even be remotely controversial.
That’s because it’s not controversial and that’s why it’s so weird we’re focused on it.
Minors are in the vast majority of times given puberty blockers at most which is a reversible process.
The focus on this non-issue is to generate controversy and impact hormonal care of minors and all care for adult trans people and everyone keeps falling for it
Nobody is trying to convince trans people they need surgery, it just so happens that it’s an effective treatment for dysphoria as has been proven in study after study after study.
It’s a choice between the patient and their doctors. Perhaps it’s societal, perhaps not. Either way your magical idealism world doesn’t actually exist in real life so it should continue to be a practice because it works
Signed,
A trans woman who will have some but but all surgical treatments.

No one has any clue what you are talking about.
The mods nuked all opposing viewpoints
We nuke bigotry, we are not willing to make this place unwelcoming for people so right wingers feel more comfy expressing their opinions.
