It took only one 2 million dollar lawsuit to break the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. NOW, they are saying gender surgery on minors is bad. After years of gaslighting. It will help future vulnerable kids, but thousands are irreversibly harmed.

1/2 The reports about the woman who had a double mastectomy in her teens, when she thought she was a boy, and has won substantial damages from her psychologist and plastic surgeon, who enabled it, are still using trans terminology, such as having a gender "assigned at birth", which is nonsense.

I think 'ban social media for under 16s' is simplistic and lazy. What about improving mental health services? How about education that doesn't put young people in debt? What about decent pay for young workers? Maybe opportunities to leave home? Perhaps a liveable planet? Some hope for the future?!

If children were being indoctrinated in schools by political or religious organisations I imagine a majority of parents would strongly object, but the indoctrination of transgender ideology seems to be unscrutinised. Teachers who allow this should be sacked.
