Unfortunately it’s important to prevent the abuse of these surgeries rather than allow all of them.
A child should not be telling their parents they want to mutilate their genitals and vice versa. Some people that need it will lose out but it can always be done later. We don’t need crazy parents allowing these irreversible surgeries on children.
And btw this should INCLUDE circumcision. Circumcision is barbaric
In addition to what other commenters have said, the extent of gender affirming care should solely be based on:
the decision of a medical ethics body and
peer-reviewed and repeated studies
By the way, surgeries removing enlarged breast tissue for men with Gynecomastia is gender affirming care. In the article, it says that in the US 25% of patients were 19 or younger at the time of surgery. Should this too be banned for minors? If not, how exactly is it different from a trans teen desiring surgery?
Why do the most clueless dickheads (this means you) always feel the need to stick their uninformed opinions into discussions that don’t pertain to them anyway???
I see, your reading comprehension is just generally shit. I did not claim to be “the leading expert on the subject.” I was simply pointing out how blatantly obvious it is that you have no fucking idea what you’re talking about and wondering why then you felt the need to contribute your opinion which carries negative value.
How about you try to enlighten him then, instead of throwing verbal abuse at him. He stated his opinion and you are free to debate him on that.
The fact that he gets attacked like this for his opinion is why I don’t engage in these discussions. Your kind of reaction will lose all support for your cause.
Except that’s not what’s happening. They pause puberty with pills so the kid can grow up and make an informed decision after years of therapy. Meanwhile they don’t have to worry about their body going the wrong way and contributing to serious mental health problems.
These laws are forcing kids to deal with serious mental illness, not saving them.

I wasn’t aware you were the leading expert on the subject. Because your opinion is so much more informed than mine.
