And I think the treatment for it should only be given to adults due to the permanence of the operation, and the very real and common possibility of one wanting to detransition, especially if transitioning is done at a younger age
The cost to the individual and society is less if they’re only allowed to do it as adults
Okay. Children are not getting bottom surgery. Full stop. Anyone telling you that’s normal is lying to you. Transition is not “an operation”. What happens is they’re not treated like they’re lying about who they are. If dysphoria persists, they may go onto puberty blockers, which are already regularly given to cis children to treat precocious puberty. These can be ceased, and puberty will start again. When they’re older, if their identity persists, they may go onto hormone replacement therapy, which again, cis adults get all the time to treat a variety of issues.
When they’re an adult they can get surgeries if they still need them. Nobody is trying to cut children’s dicks off.
I’m very much aware that gender dysphoria exists

What do you think gender affirming care for children is? “The operation”, for fucks sake.
I said it’s an operation because… it is? What are you trying to say here?
