    If they’re gonna go after people who mutilate children they need to start by banning circumcision.

    Fun fact, 97% of gender affirming surgeries done on minors were not transgender or gender diverse (TGD) children. Only 3% of gender affirming surgeries done on minors were done on TGD children. (Study)

    Of course they’ll be ignoring the 97%

        This study appears to focus on breast reduction surgeries, which is considered gender-affirming care. It seems to confirm that breast reductions are overwhelmingly performed on cisgendered males regardless of age.

          Probably not a high percentage, but intersex babies are routinely “altered” to conform to one gender or another with no concern to what the child may wish in the future. Sometimes without even input from the parent.

        I believe the 97/3% is specifically looking at breast reduction surgery. This means 97% were not trans or gender diverse children but they had the surgery. This is something no one would bat an eye at if you were a cis man with man boobs and wanted to look more masculine, but if someone who is trans or gender diverse has the same procedure then it’s suddenly a huge deal.

        It’s a double standard

        Of gender-affirming surgical procedures identified among adults and minors, 1591 of 2664 (59.7%) and 82 of 85 (96.4%) were chest-related procedures, respectively. Of the 636 breast reductions among cisgender male and TGD adults, 507 (80%) were performed on cisgender males. Of the 151 breast reductions among cisgender male minors and TGD minors, 146 (97%) were performed on cisgender male minors (Figure 2).

        It doesn’t seem to break it down quite how I’d like, but the 97% and matching 3% are specifically about breast reductions.

        The things I don’t understand are the 85 and 151. What are the differences between those numbers? They both seem to refer to total procedures on minors.

          This first part parses to me as “Of gender-affirming surgical procedures identified, 1591 of 2664 adult surgeries (59.7%) and 82 of 85 minor child surgeries (96.4%) were chest-related procedures, respectively.” However, the next sentence doesn’t seem to line up with that notion…

          Of the 636 breast reductions among men, 507 (80%) were performed on cisgender men. Of the 151 breast reductions among boys, 146 (97%) were performed on cisgender boys (Figure 2).

          To make this section easier to read, I replaced some words and phrases while hopefully keeping the meaning intact.

          I kind of feel like this quote is referencing two different data sets, and is missing a segue. The numbers don’t seem to line up with each other any way I poke at them.

    Which magically doesn’t include surgeries on intersex children, because it’s the appropriate kind of mutilation under the guise of gender-affirming care.

      that’s because they don’t actually want to protect children (or the adults they will become), they want to force conformity onto everyone; so they’ll refuse non-conforming surgeries for those who want them and force conforming surgeries on those who don’t

      (I know you know that, just saying it to add on what you said)

      I would say come over to the UK, but it’s the next worse place in the democratic world.

      Might be worth leaving for Canada, as I’ve heard many have done. Not sure if that’s in any way realistic at all for you though.

        Wish it were. I have my son here, and I could not bear it if I were to leave him. His mom would never allow for him to come with me, and I would not want to take him away from her. He’ll be 18 next year, so it would be his choice, but again I could not do that to her or make him choose.

        the next worse place in the democratic world.

        I had really hoped that seeing everything going on might cause westerners to actually question the “white, western = good, democratic vs non-white, foreign = bad, autocratic” framing of western propaganda.

        now now, russia is getting single-handedly held up by ukraine, china seems to be quite happy not being blithering morons and watching everyone else stab themselves in the gut, and america is incompetent, so it’ll just be a global depression with half the planet dying and the climate being ignored 🥰

          Yeah but Elon or Don are stupid enough to consider nuclear winter as viable climate and resource options. Domed cities for the elite while Elons sperm ark goes through more testing.

          Wish I was joking but this is the level of stupidity legitimately supported by the American people and ejaculated on the world.

      Conforming to the “norm” is the highest good in conservative ethics; it’s a way of signaling allegiance to the in-group.

      Their most dripping disdain is reserved for people who refuse to live in the little box that was assigned to them; this is the social contract as conservatives see it.
