   no, but the original thread is. that's what this is largely about. surgeries are only a small part of it.

   recommendation: look up "anti-trans laws" on your search engine of choice and spend like 2 minutes reading about what's happening rn.

     @risa I see:
     - "Bathroom/locker room bans and youth sports bans" (https://edition.cnn.com/2021/04/15/politics/anti-transgender-legislation-2021/index.html), not a survival issue. although it may be concerning that governments are getting involved in sports in that way; aren't sports usually regulated/run by nongovernmental bodies? not American btw.
     - "Bans/restrictions on transgender medical care" (Ibid), a civil liberties issue, but not a survival issue
     - "Bans on gender-affirming health care for minors" (Ibid) I think is actually a good thing. Children should be protected from sex and sex-adjacent things.
     - "One Iowa bill requires that parents give written consent for teachers to discuss gender identity while their children are present in the classroom", I don't see how that's bad. Parents should have more control over their own kids education than politicians and teachers that aren't related to them.
     - "another stipulates that any curriculum that includes gender identity must include “the potential harm and adverse outcomes of social and medical gender interventions.”", an unequivocal good thing if you ask me. Not sure why I would need to explain it.
     That's all I have energy for. I hope I've covered what you wanted me to respond to. It wasn't easy, since you didn't actually state what your point was.

     @risa Maybe I was being too nitpicky. I'll look that up.

     Telling me to "shut the fuck up" is not going to work. In fact, I'd be very surprised if it worked on anyone but the most weak-minded.
     Try arguing your case using logic for a change.

     @Hyolobrika @risa please just shut the fuck up.

     I'm as cis-het as they come but with a little compassion you could be able to see how this turns into a survival thing. The fuck is wrong with you?
