Its what the majority of Americans voted for. Should children be able to decide if they have their genitals mutilated? That's literally INSANE!

You're just repeating propaganda you heard from other uninformed people. Doctors are not mutilating these children. They're giving them hormones and puberty blockers to protect these children from the harm of living in a body that doesn't feel at one with their minds, you know the part of us that makes all of us us. It's about saving lives and making people feel safe in being themselves. Denying children that medical care is quite honestly a form of social murder.

Individual healthcare decisions shouldn't be subject to majority rules.

More cis kids have breast surgeries than trans kids. Genital surgery on minors *might* happen for an older teen, but still rare.

Citation needed. Vast majority of trans children get nothing more than puberty blockers, a few get HRT at around 16. Anything else is practically nonexistent
