Not that I’ve thought a lot about this specific issue, but I just want to mention that intersex babies have been receiving surgeries for decades in order to make them conform to the majority, far before they were capable of having or expressing any opinion on the matter. So I’m going to be really skeptical of people who oppose trans teens requesting surgery when they themselves have been asking for it, and they have the support of their doctors, as it just looks like the fact that they’re straying away from normativity makes a lot of people apply an unfair double standard.
A donkey will keep on banging its head against the wall no matter how may warnings you give it, huh?
My whole argument is: “We have been doing surgeries on kids without their consent just because society wanted them to conform. If you’re against trans teens receiving surgery after they ask for it after ignoring non consensual surgeries on intersex babies, you probably don’t actually care about the well-being of children, but rather, have a bias against what you don’t consider to be normal”. Instead, you failed to understand what kind of argument I was even making and assumed you had a fight to pick. Again: work on your reading comprehension.
