OP is a couple screencaps/links, including of Corrine Green stating "a whole lot of people owe me an apology and a job back today"
Second post:
For anyone that wants to respond with "but minors extremely rarely (if ever) receive gender affirming surgery":
That's true, but that isn't the point. The point is that Biden is accepting right-wing framing of the debate and refusing to defend those seeking that care, people who are among the most vulnerable.
Third post:
There are a number of gender affirming surgeries minors should be getting. Fuck any other framing than gender affirming care saves lives, and there are minors that need it to stay alive. I don't care if people think that's gross or evil, I hope they kill themselves
Fourth post:
Minors do actually receive gender affirming care all the time, they just didnt pick the gender, the doctor did. The government and doctors sure are pro gender surgery and treatment for anyone perceived as intersex, even infants. Weird how they would push this on some people but keep it from others. Its almost as if doctors and politicians dont care about you...
Fifth post:
Just wanna point out also, ftm top surgery is completely safe to get as a teen as long as your breast tissue has developed enough. Plenty of 15-17 year olds DO receive it, the only reason it’s so rare is bc of restrictions by transphobic legislature & parents + cost. Saying minors don’t need/never receive gender affirming surgery is completely Untrue. I’m not sure about the specifics for every type of bottom surgery or transfem gender affirming surgery off the top of my head, but im certain there are at least some this is the case for as well!
Sixth post:
Thought about leaving this in tags but fuck it:
Even
if you discount that these surgeries are literally
life-saving (which they are), even
if there was
any significantly large amount of dissatisfaction and detransition (there isn’t), even
if these surgeries were still considered dangerous and “experimental” (they are not), the
crux of the argument
against these kinds of procedures
would still be
“I don’t believe kids and teens deserve bodily autonomy.”
I should not have to explain why this is fucked.
We should not have to explain why this is fucked.
