      do you really think that medical transition is as simple as cutting off the genitals…?

      1. A teenager wanting to transition is first of all giving their consent for the procedures involved. A baby cannot give that consent to have their penis circumcised.
      2. Gender dysphoria is a medical condition and a generally accepted procedure to cure it is: Transition! If someone has a close-to-rupturing appendix and the medical professionals want to remove it via expensive surgery, would you say they are just in it for the money? I wouldn’t, they want to save their patient! Same as with people suffering from gender dysphoria, as not transitioning can lead to serious consequences, including suicide.
      3. Transitioning is not done lightly. The affected person still has to jump through many hoops, such as a diagnosis from a psychiatrist, until they are cleared for transition.

      No one wakes up one day and decides to this on a whim, there aren’t billboards and ads glorifying this, no one is wanting it forced upon you, and others having it done does not hurt you. It’s gender affirmation surgery. For a small minority of people, it makes them able to live the rest of their lives in happiness.

      Conspiracy theorists when anything involving medical intervention is mentioned: “is all biG pHArMa 😡”

      (Do you actually think medical professionals are pushing transition so they can make more money? I’m curious if this is the new talking point)
