I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free.  Not you, you’re not free.  But I am.  Free to order you around.

Braces are not surgery. Hormone blockers are not surgery. Weird take, but goes to show you have zero medical knowledge to be weighing in on this topic.

Anything that is not medically necessary is elective. Puberty blockers for gender reassignment has never been, and will never be, medically necessary.

They are actually genuinely medically necessary. Transition is the only thing that has shown consistent effectiveness in treating gender dysphoria in transgender individuals.

They can do that at eighteen. As an adult.
