While it's true that both transgender confirmation surgeries and historical medical practices like lobotomies were once endorsed by the medical establishment, it's crucial to acknowledge that our understanding of medical interventions has evolved. Modern transgender care is informed by improved knowledge and ethical standards, aiming to enhance individuals' quality of life. Drawing parallels with outdated practices may overlook the positive impact of contemporary medical approaches.
Your whole line of discussion reminds me of these old guys who used to play poker at ameristar and would talk about “experiments on monkeys” when black people would sit in the game. It’s unfair and uncalled for. and although they would say they were bringing up scientific experiments unrelated to racism that they found interesting, it’s transparent what they were seeking to accomplish.
You don’t even realize that transgender care, as you call it, is extremely harmful. There is ample evidence that transitioning is a social contagion, especially among adolescent girls. Just research rapid onset gender dysphoria.
Sterilizing children by giving them puberty blockers before their frontal lobes have fully developed is a recipe for disaster.
