She was 'fast-tracked' for gender transition at age 12, now suing

Hardly believable.

Surely even in your wild west, gun toting, man choking madhatter culture, you can’t just operate on people because they “feel” somethin

Really, in this the case with the woke cancel culture?

I agree with you that these surgeries are not a good idea.

But the number of threads on the topic, the number of other threads which have been derailed by the topic, and the number of man hours spent in discussion is blown way out of proportion with reality.

Regarding the "cutting body parts off", you are referring to a surgery that is extremely rare. The most common kind of surgery in minors is mastectomy 0.0001% kind of rare. In the US, it was 282 kids in total in 2021.

And again, I think that's too many. But for fun let's compare that to other unnecessary surgeries. Millions of minors undergo non-gender-related medical surgeries every year. For something like back surgery, ~200,000 of them are completely unnecessary (see source below). These surgeries are often crippling, often life-altering, often performed on minors, and often taxpayer funded (unlike gender surgery). You can pool numbers from a few small hospitals in rural Texas who perform more worthless back surgeries per year than the entire countries list of gender surgeries performed on minors. The price tag for this is $2 billion.

So you gotta quit with that "what about the children" garbage, because you know that's not what it's about. Why are there more RHP threads and FoxNews segments on this gender stuff than there are people who undergo the surgery? And why do you ignore the vastly more problematic (on a pure numbers basis) of other child-mutilating surgeries that don't involve gender?

A UCLA student is suing two California doctors, alleging they inappropriately "fast-tracked" her for an "irreversibly damaging" gender transition, starting when she was 12 years old.

'Debates' Forum. Courts get things wrong, so we have to instruct them. 😆

Yah, I know. This was the point of my earlier questions. Your rage is about protecting the children! So you should be wondering what has led you to a place where you are enraged only by a rare medical procedure paid out of pocket and clueless about more debilitating, common and taxpayer funded medical procedures done on children?

I would guess that the imbalance has something to do with the politically biased media you consume, but I would be interested in your thoughts.
