So no more circumcisions now?
It looks like the actual language was precise enough to exclude circumcision… but that would have been hilarious.
What’s amazing about this is how targeted it is. They aren’t actually concerned about protecting children from genital surgery (which isn’t something anyone is doing on trans kids, anyway). The point is to write a narrative that makes them saviors and reasonable people monsters.
It’s to scare their base.
(which isn’t something anyone is doing on trans kids, anyway).
Correction: it is being done on some trans kids- the ones who are saying “either you cut this off or I will.” It does happen, but as a last ditch effort to stop actual mutilation or even death.
So you can imagine what will happen to such kids now.
Yet not precise enough to be accurate to what medical professionals actually do or claim
Circumcision definitely alters an individual’s sexual organs to minimize their natural biological functions.
And ear piercings?
under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child’s sex
The only thing more infuriating than Republicans being utterly incapable of understanding that NOBODY claims you can change your sex, is Republicans closing their eyes and covering their ears when everyone tells them that we’re not claiming it.
They’re blatantly putting words in our mouths at this point. Their ignorance is willful. It’s either time we start fighting fire with fire, or someone needs to step up and start dishing out “Italian goodbyes”.
(Edit):
irreversible medical interventions
It’s hard enough for ADULTS to get GRS or T/E… On what fucking basis are they claiming children get these treatments?
It’s not even possible to change your sex. We don’t have that sort of genetic engineering capability.
Trans woman to trans man: hey, I don’t think you’re using the extra parts of that second chromosome…let me just pluck pluck
I wonder how you can spin this against oil companies pollution water and causing mutations in humans.
When bullets are fired from a gun, that’s a chemical reaction, right? Does this mean no more school kids will get shot as well?
So no surgeries at all then?
RIP kids
How are children legally defined in the US?
The executive order said the United States will not “fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another.”
Had it been prior to this?
Better include circumcision
