If you have a penis and believe that you're a female, you're mentally ill.
If you're an American and youy vote for Donald Trump, you're mentally ill.
I think that cosmetic surgery of any kind is the ultimate act of self loathing. Every woman I've ever known who had breast implants has had them removed because of medical problems, leaving them "multilated", and yet breast implants aren't even banned, despite the harm they do.
Every day there are website posting photos of cosmetic surgery nightmares. People who have destroyed their faces or their bodies. But you don't want to ban their procedures.
Every one of the articles linked to support the OP was a card carrying right wing "Questionable Source" with a history of failed fact checks.
The entire anti-trans, anti-gay movement is being run by right wing loons and grifters stoking the right wing outrage machine.
Americans tolerate and indulge an manner of mental illness, so why does this one bother YOU so fucking much? It's not your body or you life. You allow other people to multilate themselves, but not the trans people.
When gay marriage became the law in Canada, nobody but the gays and people working in the wedding industry cared, and those two groups were ecstatic. There was no national outcry that our morals were being destroyed, or fears that straight marriage was endangered. Other than getting invites to more weddings, it had no effect on straight people. It's been neaerly 25 years now and Canada hasn't changed because of it.
Yet Americans went bat shit crazy over gay marriage, and they haven't let up on it. Just like they're going bat shit crazy over trans people getting surgery. Why don't you try minding your OWN business and your OWN sanity, which seems to be on pretty shaky grounds from what I've seen.
