    If you genuinely think that gender affirming care is the same as cancer treatment then you are long gone

    Funny how everyone here can’t communicate about this without instantly breaking into immature behaviour

      Yeah, the difference is you think one condition exists and the other doesn’t. Because you’re being an idiot, on purpose apparently.

        I’m very much aware that gender dysphoria exists

        And I think the treatment for it should only be given to adults due to the permanence of the operation, and the very real and common possibility of one wanting to detransition, especially if transitioning is done at a younger age

        The cost to the individual and society is less if they’re only allowed to do it as adults

              Okay. Children are not getting bottom surgery. Full stop. Anyone telling you that’s normal is lying to you. Transition is not “an operation”. What happens is they’re not treated like they’re lying about who they are. If dysphoria persists, they may go onto puberty blockers, which are already regularly given to cis children to treat precocious puberty. These can be ceased, and puberty will start again. When they’re older, if their identity persists, they may go onto hormone replacement therapy, which again, cis adults get all the time to treat a variety of issues.

              When they’re an adult they can get surgeries if they still need them. Nobody is trying to cut children’s dicks off.

      I’m pretty sure you’re mentioning me when you say immature behavior so I’ll chime in here too.

      I’m not being immature. I’m just cussing you the fuck out because your ideology literally kills people. And you’re trying so hard to not change your ideas about this that you’re diving into false equivalencies and strawmans.

      The “immature behaviour” I’m showing here is not nearly as bad as the actual immature behaviour you show to millions of children you deny the experience of that have to go through mental hell.
