Lobotomies were atrocious, but they were more defensible than what is happening today. For one, they were not pushed by a highly politicized lobby, they came spontaneously out of the medical profession in which we should definitely put our blind trust. There also was not recruitment and grooming in schools for lobotomies.
Technically, lobotomies actually worked. Turns out killing part of your brain genuinely stops you from being manic and hyperactive.
But the number of surgeries that have cured gender dysphoria... I think the numbers are still out on that.
And yeah, I don't remember lobotomies being offered to kids because the internet told them it would solve all their problems.
Hell, there is evidence that suggest that the surgeries have in many cases actively made the gender dysphoria worse.
Red Pill: That's because the surgeries gave gender dysphoria to people who didn't have it, but were told they did because it was the best way to permanently monetize people with depression as perpetual medical patients.
One of my most controversial takes, that I think is really our society's darkest truth is that most trans people didn't have gender dypshoria, and most gays are heterosexual. Gender Dysphorics and Homosexuals exist, but are probably in the same 0.5% and 1% number that we would see naturally occurring in a non-pathological culture.
Not contesting that take. I guess the one good thing is that we are kind of starting to see the slide back. Because a lot of normal people are disgusted by the rampant attempts at trans-ing the kids. And a lot of people are starting to realize the whole movement is toxic, which I chalk up as the reason that you are seeing LGBT acceptance rates decline (especially rapidly among young people).
