Sorry I'm an ignorant cissy. The phrasing seems dishonest.
I thought that nearly all minors are gonna get puberty blockers. Surgery for minors seems incredibly rare, no??
Hormone blockers/puberty blockers for trans teens is the compromise. They should be getting hrt and going through puberty around the same time as their peers. Forcing people to wait until they're 18 to do puberty is so cruel for no reason
Fair enough. Sorry I have so little knowledge about all this.
No worries!
Being on puberty blockers for too long can be detrimental to mental health so hormone treatment is often started early, after a few years of blockers. Blockers buy time if the child is unsure.
Surgery is incredibly rare except for top surgery which generally starts at age 16.
Top surgery is still rare imo
this study found 82 top surgeries were done on trans minors in 2019. That seems rare to me.
But very common for cis girls with rich parents.
It is rare for surgeries to be performed that young. My guess is alot of Americans would be relatively comfortable with HRT, but when you frame the question with surgery it's alot less popular.
Of course the repugnantcans will do a blanket ban with no regard for if it's surgery or just hormones. And dems will do jack shit about it because they secretly hate us.
A lot of minors are not getting any gender affirming care at all, it is already illegal in roughly half of the states in the US. The results of that are dire. Puberty is rough to begin with, but going through the wrong puberty while being fully aware of it must be hell on earth. These measures kill children, we have clear evidence for that, and that will most likely soon be expanded to the entire country.
