Here's some education The study found no gender-affirming surgeries performed on TGD youth ages 12 and younger in 2019. This was expected, the researchers said, as current international guidelines do not suggest any medical or surgical intervention for TGD individuals prior to puberty. For teens ages 15 to 17 and adults ages 18 and older, the rate of undergoing gender-affirming surgery with a TGD-related diagnosis was 2.1 per 100,000 and 5.3 per 100,000, respectively. A majority of these surgeries were chest surgeries. When considering use of gender-affirming breast reductions among cisgender males and TGD people, the study found that cisgender males accounted for the vast majority of breast reductions, with 80% of surgeries among adults performed on cisgender men and 97% of surgeries among minors performed on cisgender male teens. “We found that gender-affirming surgeries are rarely performed for transgender minors, suggesting that U.S. surgeons are appropriately following international guidelines around assessment and care,” said co-author Elizabeth Boskey, instructor in the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences. https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/f...geries-rarely-performed-on-transgender-youth/
For me the problem is people keep telling lies. Surgery on a child is very rare. Surgery on a child's genitalia almost nonexistent. There have probably been more kids killed in a singular school shooting than have had surgery on their privates. If the ones wanting to protect the kids from gender care were to dispense the same effort on providing safety at schools we could save many lives of children. The problem, they think, is they know who is providing gender care but they don't know who the next shooter will be. I can help, doctors provide medical care, irresponsible parents arm the killers. Those are the parents we should be most worried about.
You know the saddest part of all of this? Until recently children born with ambiguous sex organs were “reassigned” shortly after birth. It was the LGBTQIA community that started advocating for the medical interventions to be delayed until the child could decide for themselves
Hmmm and how many preemptive pardons did Donnie give out?? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_granted_executive_clemency_by_Donald_Trump But bottom line - in a fair system upheld by rules of justice pre emptive pardons are not necessary. It is a mark of the fear that this will not be a fair and equitable system that is driving the discussion of preemptive pardons
Absolutely! Plus 45% of trans teens have tried to commit suicide, versus 22% of non-trans, and there is a direct correlation between trans suicides and anti-trans laws.
