gender reassignment surgery is not done on minors with the exception of intersex babies(which itself is questionable ethics). Minors can and often do get a tattoos with parental approval.
They can also get psychological counciling and be referred to as a preferred name. These count as gender affirming care.
How is this affecting you? Why do you care what someone else does to their body?
“cut their dick off” yeah that’s exactly what gender affirming care is. This isn’t about surgery, it’s about HRT and puberty blockers, and the regret rates for all of those things are super low. Besides, there is already an epidemic of trans suicides. Do I need to repeat that? People are killing themselves because of transphobia, and yes, detransitioners exist, but most people don’t regret getting gender reaffirming care, and again, this is about HRT and puberty blockers, not just surgery.
You mean how in the US they literally mutilate the genitalia of a majority of male children as soon as they are born and how no-one is doing anything about it?
I agree. That should be illegal.
Those babies can’t possibly consent to having their prepuces removed. Forced genital mutilation. Fucking disgusting.
Well they’ve been sort of soft about it recently because a right-wing government is on the rise.
But basically it’s not something that really happens here that much. Some people have even been charged with grievous bodily assault for cultural circumcisions, but I don’t think that went through. So basically I think cultural circumcision is currently legal, but not widely spread and has to be done by a medical practitioner, so you can’t get a traditional religious practicer to perform the circumcision.
Oh yeah now that I’m reading up about it, some fking company in Finland has seen circumcision as a market gap in like 2016. Pretty much no medical practitioners used to do non-medical circumcisions, but since the muslim population has grown quite a bit and there was some friction about it ~15 years ago https://yle.fi/a/3-5516204 iirc. That’s not the only story though.
Anyway, I personally am against any sort of genital mutilation of babies. And trans bottom ops aren’t easily done on minors, I can pretty confidently say.

Religion affirming care gets an exception when it comes to mutilating little kids
Not where I live it doesn’t.

“As someone with no horse in this race, this seems fair to me”
Nobody is doing that. “Gender-affirming care” also includes giving hormone blockers to a kid who started puberty way too early.
