Government: "Ignore it."

The US government is allowing doctors to perform genital mutilation on children in the name of transgenderism.

I had my foreskin cut off just after my birth as a blood sacrifice to Jesus/yahweh/ghost.

Ignore religion, but tax the churches.  Great

I did a quick search and found all kinds of instances of hospitals doing sex change procedures on minors with parent approval. I'm not sure what government policy is concerning this, so the readers can look for themselves.

Watching Fox News and looking at Libs of TikTok Facebook page is not research.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

If you make a claim and don't back it up, expect people to be skeptical.

Sexual reassignment surgery, even for adults, is not some sort of "casual" surgery. Numerous hurdles need to be crossed before such a procedure is performed. What's the alternative? To make sexual reassignment surgery illegal? How about breast implants? False teeth? Tattoos?

Do you say it' not happening? If that's what you're saying, I'll show my evidence and you show me yours.

Not citing your sources works, Skippy.

Nobodies getting genital surgery at 16. They may be getting top surgery with parental approval which by the way is an adult making that decision. But only adults receive genital surgery. That's the guidelines.
