Iowa City resident Karen Butler said gender-affirming care was "absolutely critical" for her nonbinary 17-year-old, Ridley, who came out several years ago and received a double mastectomy in Iowa.
"That has made all the difference in their ability to feel good and to look at themselves in the mirror and not cry. To have confidence to move about the world, feeling not like they're in a stranger's body," Butler said.
Child being groomed while in puberty= surgery. Funny how the “happiness” never lasts, but when zippertits offs herself it will be the “evil bigots” fault.
Yup. It's amazing how the body positivity movement doesn't apply to transgenderism. The entire concept of "gender is an arbitrary social construct" erases the entire point of "transitioning gender" in the first place. If you acknowledge yourself as non-binary; that's the end of the discussion. No further action is needed. The only reason it would be is because you hate yourself and have so much emotional damage that you want to cut your breasts off and shave your head so no one can recognize who or what you are. You're killing yourself without fully going through with it. This is institutionalized cutting.
But according to the Body Positivity movement: liposuction is fat-phobic and unhealthy, but making a fake penis out of your forearm is progressive, brave, and heroic. Diets are terrorism and oppression, but hysterectomies are noble.
I despise the rationalization they say puberty blockers are temporary. They are saying puberty blockers are temporary, because if you go off of them after 6 months, you body should recover.
Please ignore the fact that you're supposed to take puberty blockers for years.

Shaving your head is rather non permanent. Go crazy! Die your hair and make it super long and super short and spiky. It all fades in time.
Surgery cannot be reversed.
Less then puberty blockers, too.
