    Is that ever performed on minors for gender reassignment reasons anyway? It seems like a weird thing to ban. What’s next, are they going to make it illegal to perform GRS on dead people?

      It is, but it’s not common. There’s a metric fuck ton of hurdles that have to be jumped through, so it’s basically just a dog whistle used to justify banning any gender affirming care.

        Ah, so same playbook as abortion with those scary ‘late stage abortions’ that are basically exclusively done to rescue people from dangerous and nonviable pregnancies.
