Reply to comment by ralettar in In testimony and rally, crowds oppose Republican-backed bills targeting LGBTQ youth by kitchinsink

My tonsils were removed at age 3 - was I mutilated? No. I received necessary medical care. If a doctor, psychologist, and parents all feel this is medically the best choice for the welfare of a kid after years of treatment- who the hell are you to give your opinion. Most surgerys aren't even done until teen years or after, and not for years after a person has been living in their new gender and receiving regular therapy.

getting your tonsils taken out is a bit different than getting your breasts cut off.

Only bc it is being framed that way. People get breast reductions and mastectomies all the time. It's not called it mutilation. It is called an operation.

Did you have your brain removed too? Because that’s the stupidest comparison I’ve ever heard.
