  Sex Change surgeries on minors aren’t really a thing.

    So you’d support banning them?

      I would, for sure. My daughter was trans for a few years in high school. I supported her (him at the time) as much as I could. I bought breast binders and new jeans, boots and was as supportive of her choice as I could be. The only thing I put my foot down on was permanent body modification, as she was not capable of making that choice about her body yet and I didn’t feel confident in allowing her to make that choice. So yes, anecdotally and personally, I do not think we should be modifying child bodies before their intellects are mature enough to make life long decisions about themselves. That also includes circumcision.

      now that I think about it more, “sex Change surgeries on minors” are a genuine issue that happens quite regularly. however it’s not the kind most people talk about.

      I mean “corrective” surgery on intersex people, where the doctor often decides what gender the Child should be based on the size of the penis and then “corrects” or sometimes mutilates the baby’s genitals.

      that is also one of the rare scenarios where the kind of “sex change surgery on minors” that most people talk about could be relevant. just imagine the pain a boy would go through after hearing that the doctor cut up their genitals at birth because they didn’t fit neatly into the binary that is expected of babies.

      so, no. I don’t think the kind of “sex change surhery on minors” you’re talking about should be banned. it generally isn’t a thing, and sometimes it’s a good thing. we should focus on the horrible things that are done to intersex people.

  Go out side and touch grass. This isn’t a real problem

    Then you shouldn’t have a problem banning stuff that isn’t happening? Just a mild bit of wasted energy.

      Guns are a problem and they literally kill kids everyday. So you shouldn’t have a problem with REAL solutions right?

  Sex change surgeries on minors aren’t happening. This is a monster under the bed.

  Why do conservatives never talk about the large number of gender affirming surgeries that people do on cis minors? Cisgendered kids are getting breast implants, and it’s kind of a big problem.

    The protest from the far left against banning it is even stranger in light of this.

    I’ve heard some people talk about this to some degree. Is this happening more often that kids taking hormones or getting sex change operations?

    I wonder if Republicans would be more outraged if there was a concerted marketing or social push for kids to get breast implants lol. The reactionary right wing outrage machine doesn’t care as much about effects as much as what the left is doing or might doing.

      What’s strangest is those protests only exist in propaganda ‘news’ media.
