kids aren't getting SRS unless it's some extreme circumstance likely to do with being intersex - and that's why blockers are a thing instead to delay any serious decisions

FFS even adults aren't just popping in to the surgery phase on a whim (both from the trans individual deciding they want one, and the legal process allowing you to), nor do many even want to go there which trans care typically reassures you as an individual that it's an optional decision. Cis understanding of trans treatment is *woefully* inept which is why all these bills are completely asinine, written by fearmongering cis male culture warriors who don't give a fuck about any scientific, professional, or personal insights on the actual issues.

Even just me as an adult getting HRT took me over a year of process through 3 doctors

There's only like a handful of people in the entire country who are even qualified to do bottom surgery, it's like the very last step for anyone who does it and most people can only dream of having access to it. It's so silly that people think it's some kind of rampant thing

Things like top surgery for guys or facial surgery are more common but I'm pretty sure they really only do that on adults (probably some rare cases to the contrary)

And of course there's intersex kids who end up the other way, being forced into surgery to make them more typical, so lol

I just wish people would take a little bit of time to learn what kind of stuff trans people actually do
