I have never seen any evidence of anyone under the age of 18 having gender affirming genital surgery. It seems mastectomies are the only "major" surgery offered to adolescents/teens (not counting facial surgery as major) and they are rare. Are there any examples of genital surgery on under 18s?

"There is no such thing as society"
This is literally the rich gaslighting the poor. Rich people cannot be rich without the rest of society to profit off. They then deny society exists as a strategy to lock poor people into a role where they can continue to profit off them.

What a surprise. She's doing this more b/c she's an attention hound who wants to stand out than b/c it's something she firmly believes.
I'm not sure which is worse tbh, exposing people to violence & hatred b/c you're intolerant of them, OR doing it just to improve your career. Both are repulsive.🤮

Fact is some things should simply not be for profit businesses, and healthcare is definitely one of them.
Same applies to most essential public services, tbh. No one should be getting rich off people's fundamental needs - it's totally immoral.

I keep saying this. I wish someone had been able to organize a large protest for the FWS case.
It's really time that as many trans people & allies as possible gather & make their voices heard.
I hope next times there's a trans court case, parliamentary vote, or similar many many 1000s will gather.

Ohhh... looking forward to this one!! But are there really many Potter fans left who don't kinda hate JKR now? It seems all the real dedicated fans had no time for her terfery, maybe with the exception of 30+ year old reactionary lads (usually from the US in my experience).

...why Harry Potter especially appealed to LGBTQ+ youth b/c of that.
The problem is that ultimately they don't dismantle or challenge that exclusionary status quo, they just join it.
It's too much to parse for younger fans, but imo it does reveal her current GC arc is not so out of character.🤷♀️

...same. Keracher isn't freed. Hermione becomes minister & Harry an Auror.
It's a very neolib conservative mindset - power structures & institutions aren't to blame, just bad individuals.

She doesn't frame house elf slavery as them accepting their oppression, but rather as an innate characteristic of their species. She did the same with Goblins - they are a certain way b/c that is the "nature" of Goblins.

The Dobby arc is fine imo and absolutely works, and if she'd made it so in her world only "bad" wizards like the Malfoys had house elves it would have worked.
But she didn't, all wizards have slaves, even Molly wishes she had one, and that's where the problems start. Hagrid even says at one...

...she's always been incredibly insecure & unable to deal with criticism. She seems to have this need to validate herself & double-down rather than ever just say, "I was wrong".
I feel that might (at least partly) even explain her fall into terfdom & increasing radicalisation as a GC.
