TheSteakSauce (independent sports journalist): Isn’t this in line with the current standards of care Gender affirming surgeries don’t happen for minors

This is the sound of the Biden administration throwing the trans community under the bus on the anniversary of Stonewall.

Isn’t this in line with the current standards of care Gender affirming surgeries don’t happen for minors

true but speaking on it like it happens only normalizes the right wing goal of taking away all trans healthcare entirely. if he had said “gender affirming surgeries do not happen to minors and i support the current medical guidelines for trans healthcare” then this would not be a problem.

That's what I thought. This lines with the NYT's attacking Biden with nothing burger again. Trying to make him look bad to anyone that is considering voting for him over Trump. I don't know of any minors ever getting actual "SURGERY" and as far as I know they never have. Am I wrong?

Apparently they are very rare and only in certain cases. Still the NYT is a provocateur making shit up to mess with the trans vote. From what I can find Biden NEVER said it.

this is besides the point, but in your first reply you seemed to say NYT is trying to throw off people who'd vote for Biden over Trump, but here you're saying they're trying to mess with the trans vote. For what I know, NO trans ppl are considering Trump an option. It's between Biden and 3rd-party.

that said, I'd perfectly believe they're trying to do both, just as two separate audiences instead of being one and the same

Exactly. NYT benefits greatly from the fighting and divisions of everyone "Against Trump". It bolsters his image and keeps the Plutocrats happy. It's a win win for those keeping the populous divided and unstable. If the masses ever stopped fighting,Plutocrats would be in danger of losing everything.

At the risk of anger, (I have great respect for Trans and want to support them) I think that voting 3rd party right now is a wasted vote and empowers Trump. I hate the corrupt 2 party system but right now Christian Nationalists GOP are the greatest threat to Trans. NYT instigates 3rd party vote.

It is rare, but they do, typically around age 15-17; mainly when doctors and patients conclude it's necessary in cases of extreme mental distress, and this is something the government should not ideologically override Pretending it never happens ever does not help

Those are usually extreme edge cases and still wouldn’t affect the standard guidelines for care

Yes they usually are edge cases, but they're still cases where it was indeed needed and shouldnt be cast aside from the conversation Flat-out stating they don't happen just is factually incorrect and unhelpful

They are extremely rare. But like banning any kind of abortion, even if say a third trimester, it is taking away the rights of patients and their doctors to decide. This is the Biden admin once again folding for no benefit because they simply have no spine.
