Topic: California let a 15 year old get a double mastectomy to affirm her gender identity as a boy.

Chloe Cole is her name, and one year later she detransed.
The common refrain from the left is that this has never happened, it's all a lie that Republicans use to spread hate.
But there are many cases like this. Children getting surgery that permanently changes their body, getting prescriptions for puberty blockers, being sterilized before they are considered considered competent enough to drive a car.
Why are the Democrats dying on this hill? It's inevitable that people will see the growing number of child mutilations and push back hard.
It looks to me like a pattern that repeats itself across the neoliberal west. Capital takes their most wicked ideas and installs these ideas in whatever party supports labor, so that the simple minded common people confuse evil and labor rights. And it works 🫤

Unless you're also against male infant circumcision, you're just a hypocrite.

cutting off baby foreskin and cutting off baby makers are very different. In fact, circumcision is not something that can go away due to religious beliefs
> How can any middle school kid have the mental capacity to decide to sterilize themselves?
because there is a group of very sick "elites" controlling the world that want to corrupt us all. And it starts with our children. That's about the gist of it

There is a difference in degree, certainly, but the nature of it is the same - irreversible changes to genitals without consent. In fact, it is even more extreme on this point, not even a limited consent by those affected is given making it even worse in the ways that matter most.
circumcision stems from religion, most jewish beliefs. Religion is hardwired into society and cannot be removed easily. Removing the parts of the body needed to reproduce can not be justified as easily and will likely be overturned in time.
More and more it is. Leftism requires everyone adhere without questioning. Any questioning, even at a young age with genuine curiosity gets labeled as hate.
Leftist ideas can't stand up to scrutiny so they reject discourse outright as "platforming hate", or "engaging bad faith arguments" because that conveniently means they don't need to justify any of their incoherent ideas.

"The Left" - whatever your sources tell you "the left" is, your strings are being pulled. The political clowns you observe are as happy under corporate capture as any other. Those who really oppose rule by the rich and corrupt actually have no power to do any fucking thing today.
