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.
Agreed. Surgery fanboys (what a category to have) are seizing upon the vast group of troubled teenagers and, because they're ideologically motivated to do so, trying to con as many of these troubled teenagers as they can that whatever troubled the teenager, the solution is to start cutting, because this is how they reproduce.
Once they have ruined the teenager's body they're in - it's very hard to take a step back at this point, and, with a bit more grooming, all the anger and hatred the teenager feels can be directed outward - at conning the next generation of teenagers into ruining their bodies.
