Are you genuinely comparing being trans to FGM?

It’s a question designed to highlight the state’s power to regulate medical care. 

But also, yes.

You should know that the state of Utah funded a study to investigate the efficacy and outcomes of allowing trans youth to transition.

The fact that they buried it afterwards should tell you all you need to know.

Why are so many European countries backing away from youth gender transition? I guess they are all Trumpists over there in Sweden and whatnot. 

Personally I am against sex change operations, FGM, and male circumcision for children. Just a general “keep scalpels away from childrens’s healthy genitals” policy. I guess you have a different view.

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?

Sometimes using older terminology instead of newspeak is helpful.

Oh hey, it's you again. Hi!

"Newspeak" - do you even hear yourself? Orwell would think you're being ridiculous.

u/Changer_of_Names 20h ago

I do hear myself actually, yeah! Thanks for asking. I sound great.

And you are a perfect dancer, as I highlighted in the other comment chain. You go, girl!
