Nike is celebrating Pride Month by partnering up with a doctor who performs mastectomies on adolescent girls

@raphjd your tangent on the inequities of Scottish serial-rapist law notwithstanding, do you still believe that the 5% should dictate what happens to the 95%?

The minority frequently dictates the majority. It's the bedrock of modern western societies.
Just because an 8yo doesn't "need" surgery at that age, doesn't mean that it's not legally allowed.
You could say that abortions without parental consent don't happen at 8yo but if an 8yo did get pregnant and wanted an abortion without parental consent they would be allowed to have one.
-
@raphjd I didn't ask you what "frequently" happens as far as minority and majority. I asked you for your opinion on whether 5% should dictate for the 95%. Do you feel that that's fair? I want to know your opinion, how you feel about it.
I believe that deep down inside you feel that there is a certain fairness which should apply to everyone. In your arguments you're constantly pointing to other examples saying "but see ... they're supposed to do it this way, and they don't ....see how screwed up it is?" That's one of your bedrock arguments.
Which leads me to believe that you feel there should ideally be a level playing field. In any other circumstance you would say that 5% dictating to the 95% is garbage. And you would be right. it's a shame you can't admit that in this case

@raphjd so to use your trans people-serial rapist comparison (since that comparison apparently comes easy to you) if I were to ask you at what age you believed serial rapists actually "became" serial rapists (as a defect in their minds) you would probably say by the ages of 12 or 13. The age when most people realize that hurting other people is wrong is about 8 to 10, if not way earlier. That seems to be the age when people start to form ideas of whether they identify as male or female, wouldn't you agree
What 8 Y/O is having bottom surgery?

The studies done back up that masses of trans people detransitioning though
In 2022 a UK a survey of 3398 attendees of a gender identity clinic found that just sixteen – about 0.47% – experienced transition-related regret. Of these, even fewer went on to actually detransition and become detransitioners.
In the US, a survey of nearly 28,000 people found that 8% of respondents reported some kind of detransition. Of this 8%, 62% per cent only did so temporarily due to societal, financial, or family pressures..
In Sweden, a fifty-year longitudinal study on a cohort of 767 transgender people found that around 2% of participants expressed regret following gender-affirming surgery, although it is unclear how many of these participants were detransitioning as a consequence.
In the Netherlands, a study of transgender young people found that only 1.9% of young people on puberty blockers did not want to continue with the medical transition.

What 8 Y/O is having bottom surgery?Just to be clear, transitioning care involves two components: pharmacological treatment and surgical treatment. In the US, almost all medical authorities advocate pharmacological treatment start no earlier than 8 years old. Surgically, no earlier than 17 years old.
Thus, no medical authority in the USA advocates surgical treatment for 8-year-olds.

That clinic in Boston had it on their website that they did it from 15.
-
@raphjd "that clinic in Boston"
??
-
@raphjd are you referring to the Boston children's hospital?
The speed of light from Earth to the Moon in real time (c = 3×10^8 m/s) -
Yeah. I just found the name for it.
They were doing "top surgeries" for 15yos and "bottom surgeries" for 17yos.
-
@raphjd At Boston Children’s, we are proud to be home to the first pediatric and adolescent transgender health program in the United States, the Gender Multispecialty Service (GeMS), which has cared for more than 1,000 families to date.
Is that the one?

Read my previous post.
-
@raphjd I see. And you're sure that they perform genital surgeries on patients younger than 18 ?You're sure about that?

Libs of TikTok busted them on their claim that they didn't do gender surgeries on minors. They had to change their website to their new lie, but that too meant they do gender surgeries on minors.
-
Their website may have changed since the scandal, but they said they do top surgeries on 15yos and bottom surgeries on 17yos.
-
@raphjd interesting. So you're saying the hospital that has an explicit statement on their website that says they don't do surgeries under the age of 18 You're saying that they're lying and that the proof we have that they're lying is something posted on TikTok. ?
-
@raphjd now I know you're going to say " go Google it " so I'm way ahead of you on that I'm looking for this Boston children's hospital scandal you're talking about

@raphjd Fox News said
The hospital’s website stated as recently as Aug. 12 that "to qualify for gender affirmation at Boston Children's Hospital, you must be at least 18 years old for phalloplasty or metoidioplasty and at least 17 years old for vaginoplasty," according to The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.
That wording has since been changed to read, "To qualify for gender affirmation at Boston Children's Hospital, you must be at least 18 years old for phalloplasty or metoidioplasty and for vaginoplasty."
So that was the big lie......?
I still don't see people doing surgeries at 14 you said that was happening so where's your proof
