A series of tweets have highlighted the controversial topic of gender-affirming surgeries for minors, focusing on the adverse effects and ethical concerns. One tweet recounts the story of a 15-year-old girl whose breasts were removed by doctors despite her mental health issues, leaving her with unhealed wounds. Another tweet references a study that found significant risks associated with gender-affirming hysterectomies for trans-identified females on testosterone, promoted by Boston Children's. UCSF’s Jack Turban, in an interview with USA Today, defended gender-affirming care for minors, noting that the practice has been around for decades and was introduced to the US in 2007 through the Dutch model. CNN has faced backlash for an article advising parents to take their young children seriously when they claim to be transgender. Critics argue that the culture promoting these surgeries is misleading and harmful to minors.
"Minors aren't getting surgeries you bigots!" they say, as a 19 y/o mourns the loss of her amputated breasts four years ago today. I'm notoriously bad at math, but even I know what 19 minus 4 equals.

In an interview with @USATODAY, UCSF’s @Jack_Turban asserts that gender-affirming care for minors “has been around for decades.” In fact, the Dutch model of giving puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to gender dysphoric minors was first imported to the US in 2007. This method… https://t.co/UM8ZLQ2mST
Many will remember the videos from @BostonChildrens promoting "gender-affirming hysterectomies" with smiles and upbeat music. A new study found significant risks of this procedure for trans-identified females on testosterone. @buttonslives reports⬇️ https://t.co/S1GMEuZuPc
This is hard to watch: @ChoooCole tells the story of how "doctors" (who knew she had mental health issues) chopped the breasts off a struggling 15 year old girl, pocketed the cash, and left her with wounds that still haven't healed. The people who did this to her deserve prison https://t.co/w3jnyMIRp4
