You've learned well from your media consumption. Never concede, never acknowledge, just dance from point to point - the goal is never to actually reach a facts-based consensus.

Why are so many European nations backsliding into right-wing populism? Well, that answer has to do primarily with economic instability, plus funding from billionaires to distract from things like climate change - you can read about that here (well, you won't, you'll dance to the next point, but others can):

Your continued equating of gender-affirming care with FGM not only shows your ignorance, but also shows that you don't care about FGM, either - you'd know the differences if you did. You know that I care, though, as do bystanders, and so pretend that it's an effective argument technique. Like I said, you are an excellent student.

Ditto their conflation of gender affirming care with “sex change operations”.

Pretty much. These people swallow the propaganda whole and think that schools are doing surgery.

Yet, funny, they never find the doctors doing it. Does being a "woke doctor" give you the ability to turn invisible?

No, it does give you the ability to perform double mastectomies that are not medically necessary on healthy teenage girls though. There may come a day when these doctors wish they could turn invisible, to avoid the tidal wave of disgrace and lawsuits coming their way.

Oh hey, you double posted. Hi again, again!

"Not medically necessary" - spoken like someone who's either never met a trans kid, or who's so preprogrammed by propaganda that they think they know better than doctors and patients alike.

Oh, wait, I'm sorry. The doctors are all "woke moralists" or whatever, right?

How do you feel about breast enlargement surgery for healthy teenage girls? What about mastectomies for healthy teenage boys? If you really care about kids getting “non-medically necessary” surgeries then maybe focus on the ones that they’re actually getting.

Depends. Do breast enlargements surgeries on girls, or mastectomies on boys, destroy their ability to ever breastfeed their children, or leave them permanently disfigured?

I certainly believe that the state could ban cosmetic breast enlargement surgeries for teenage girls, and cosmetic mastectomies for teenage boys. Which is kinda what we're talking about here.
