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)
Unfortunately, reactionary movements all built upon the premise of unequal enforcement of the rules, so best you can do is to waste their time by reporting intersex mutilations and circumcisions.
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)
Some say it makes the penis look better so it's a stretch. But it is just as much genital mutilation as the anti trans people claim some other care causes.
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.
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.
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 🥰
