    That’s conservatives. Cis gender affirming care for kids isn’t banned. Surgeries on children’s genitals are not banned. It’s perfectly fine to circumcize an infant. Genital mutilation as a whole isn’t brought up by these people… they simply got rid of the transgender aspects.

    Trumpers don’t see anything wrong with aesthetic surgeries for children. They just can’t be gender affirming for transgender kids. Only gender affirming for cis children.

      I should have just scrolled down before responding to that bigoted fuck. But yeah, the fact that genital mutilation is fine, as long as it follows their assigned at birth gender, is ridiculous and completely fucking hypocritical, although that tracks for evangelicals and the right.

      Circumcision reinforces the control they get off on, so it’s ok. Gender affirming care subverts both their control and their backwards worldview so it’s not and cognitive dissonance can get fucked.

      In some places, people get away with sending their kids to conversion therapy to provide sexuality affirming “care”. Conservatives aren’t bitching about that now, are they?

      Hypocrites.
