This is a common myth spread by transphobic - for lack of a better term - degenerates like Matt Walsh and JK Rowling. Basically they’re saying sex reassignment surgery is being performed on minors. Surprisingly, this shit is easy to debunk.

My response: No one is advocating for SRS to be performed on people below 18 and rightfully so. There’s a reason why puberty blockers are recommended for trans kids, why we campaign against discrimination of trans kids, why we campaigned to not need surgery to be considered a man or a woman.

I would argue this myth is nothing more than a strawman

    but, you see,

    circumcision (usually forced by their parents) on kids is never genital mutilation or a “bad thing”

    it’s only ever bad when they want to invert their penis to resemble a vagina. mentioning this because people still call this “genital mutilation” even if the person in question is an adult by the time they’re doing it.

    it’s just willfull ignorance and hatred for people different to you at this point.

    “Why we campaigned to not need surgery to be considered a man or woman.” This just made me realise something. If we limit gender to be what is in your pants, then that just gives trans people more incentive to get SRS. Transphobia is contradicting itself.
