Oh, they include it in the bills that ban trans care: continue forcing "corrective" surgery on intersex people. That kind of surgery on the genitals of children is always exempted from the trans care bans.
That seems so cruel, I don't get it at all. Sorry you triggered another rant, I'm not shouting at you I'm just shouting, lol.
Using conservative logic, should the babies, made by God, not be left as He made them?
It also seems cruel to mutilate a child born between genders before they have the opportunity to come of age and know who they are. I've heard multiple accounts of intersex people, who the doctor removed one of their sexual organs then become suicidal when they reach adulthood because they essentially feel like a castrated man, or the female equivalent.
Just imagine you were born and had your sexual organs removed as a baby, how would you feel? Pause and imagine living life castrated. If I invest 3 seconds of thought into that, I conclude, "Nah, best not risk doing that to someone, if I was born that way I'd certainly prefer a choice. Let's let them grow up first."
Does being conservative simply require a lack of imagination about these things? It seems so obvious.
These two words do not go together. There is your problem.
