    I mean, this has been a known issue since the 70s and the case of David Reimer:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Reimer

    Born in '65, he lost his penis in a circumcision error. Parents and doctors were like “Oh, just remove it, he’s too young to know the difference, raise him as a girl, it will be fine…”

    Kid grew up with major mental health issues “knowing” they were “really” a boy. Took decades of therapy to work out. He ended up killing himself at the age of 38.

    I bet conservatives will give her kudos for doing something about curbing forced sex surgeries on babies, right?

      Yeah, I was about to say they’re sure gonna be disappointed when they find out the details of the “stopping gender reassignment surgeries on children” details.
