Statements by the Biden administration opposing youth gender affirming surgical procedures were mentioned. I have seen commentary elsewhere that this is fairly uncommon. Can someone clear this up?
@pingveno@Beaver It depends, there are few surgeries that are being categorized as gender affirming surgery. Some of these surgeries already being performed on cis gendered youth but the same surgery on a Trans youth makes everyone go crazy. Most gender affirming surgeries are not performed on youth and are uncommon. However sometimes there are very extreme cases when there is a life threat to the youth patient and that is why we insist on leaving gender affirming care to professionals, the individual and their parents and Politicians should never make decisions on medical care since they are not experts.
