Gender affirming care for trans kids involves seeing psychiatrists, social transitioning, and, if they’re lucky, puberty blockers till they’re old enough to decide whether they want to medically and surgically transition.
You didn’t get their point. The only children who are getting gender reassignment surgery are the ones who right wing doctors are trying to assign a gender to, despite medical consensus that it’s unnecessary, he’s calling the right wing misinformed and hypocritical
volodya_ilich is correct! but also I think it would be useful to use this energy on both sides to prevent gender assignment surgeries on infants (even if the right does not realize the context?)
Minors aren’t getting any surgeries.

Minors are gettin surgery if they’re intersex at birth, in the US especially they get surgically assigned a binary sex even though it is no longer recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and actively opposed by the UN.
And that’s a completely different issue that’s totally separate from the anti trans laws being pushed by the right wing today.
