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

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.

Sorry, Greg, you’re gonna just have to have breasts until you offically turn 18, because people think the goverment need to control children thet hate with no understanding of any detail.
But seriously, I had a cousin who had breast removal surgery when he was like 10-12, because he was a boy and didn’t want to grow breasts, and he had the surgery so early in the process he was never in a position to be made fun of or bullied over it.
Nice
1 anecdotal story does not mean we should allow something carte Blanche. For every story of someone that needs it there’s another where they regret it.
Yes some people need it but it can always be done later. We need to prevent the abuse of these types of surgeries first and foremost.
Actually for every 99 stories of someone that needs it there is only one who regrets it. I don’t know about you but I think a 99% chance (the actual stat for regretting gender affirming care) is good enough for me to potentially save hundreds to thousands of kids from potentially suicidally bad depression and dysphoria.
So 1% suicide rate in children is acceptable you you I guess. I don’t care what the stats are and the problem with liberal extremists is they don’t care about people. They want to virtue signal that they are progressive and everyone else is a maga whack job that needs to kill themself. I don’t want ANYONE to resort to suicide and people should be able to access the care that is medically necessary for them.
Do not confuse me with someone that doesn’t want to give options to families. “Gender affirming care” is an EXTREMELY broad term. I am all for leaving medical decisions to medical professionals and we need to be clear about what exactly is “gender affirming care”. My comment is geared specifically toward irreversible surgeries.
I think you completely misunderstand what is being said to you. Good job, I guess.
You’re insufferable. How about DOCTORS take care of medicine and RELIGIONS pumped up on moral panic can NOT do whatever they personally choose not to do, and leave everyone else alone.
Yeah that’s why eliminating all ‘‘gender affirming’’ care for children is INSANE. That’s the exact thing I’m communicating.
