Children should not be mutilated in the name of “gender affirming care.”

What exactly are you referring to? Because what it sounds like is misinformed nonsense, sort of like if you were to say, "mothers should not be mutilated in the name of 'prenatal care'."

I’m referring to the bills in question, as opposed to the fantasies you’ve invented in your retard brain.

My tonsils were removed at age 3 - was I mutilated? No. I received necessary medical care. If a doctor, psychologist, and parents all feel this is medically the best choice for the welfare of a kid after years of treatment- who the hell are you to give your opinion. Most surgerys aren't even done until teen years or after, and not for years after a person has been living in their new gender and receiving regular therapy.

getting your tonsils taken out is a bit different than getting your breasts cut off.

Only bc it is being framed that way. People get breast reductions and mastectomies all the time. It's not called it mutilation. It is called an operation.

Did you have your brain removed too? Because that’s the stupidest comparison I’ve ever heard.

Oh, I'm sorry. Has your child been mutilated in some way?

Oh I’m sorry do you have reading comprehension problems too?

No, but you do. You didn't read the bill.

I'm a biological woman, who continues to be so, who received gender affirming care in my teens for hormonal issues, like many other teens.

Not something to be legislated against.

If they wanted to ban children from having surgery, they should've made that the bill, not banning trans kids from existing.

You should stay away from children altogether. How does that sound? Because when you push for child abuse you get the same treatment as child abusers.

Cute. I'm done with this conversation since you're gonna be nasty.

These bills have absolutely NOTHING to do with healthcare in terms of drugs or surgery for gender affirming care. And I think you know that.

From the third paragraph “The proposals before New Hampshire lawmakers include bills to restrict access to gender-affirming care and to classify such care as child abuse.”

But it's like a bill saying "the school nurse shall not be allowed to perform brain surgery". In other words, a solution without a problem, if you're talking about mutilation. Schools aren't mutilating children.

I think the person you're replying to is ignorant of the type of gender-affirming care that trans youth receive, and would prefer to remain ignorant on the subject. To them, there's no difference between the words benign and harmful.

Back in the 80's certain people were afraid that children playing Dungeons and Dragons meant they were worshipping Satan. It's the same kind of wilful ignorance.

I know exactly what they want to do to children and I’m very happy classifying that activity as child abuse.

But you haven’t been able to articulate how this is mutilation.
