    I didn’t see them say “gender affirming surgery is often harmful”, they said it can be harmful. Regarding “often”, they said that “what neurodivergent people want is often harmful”, which may be wrong, IDK, but is definitely not transphobic.

    As for their motivation, we can’t know. They didn’t explicitly indicated and there’s insufficient info to make assumptions.

      “Gender affirming surgery can be the opposite of health care, supporting what neuro-diversity thinks it needs is often harmful to that individual. For example, you wouldn’t prescribe unlimited sleep for someone with narcolepsy.”

      … Brushing your teeth can be the opposite of healthcare. sometimes idiots mistake electric toothbrushes for dildos and shove them all the way up their ass.

      1. Gender affirming surgery is healthcare.

      2. The idea that trans is “neuro-diversity” is… huh? Do you think gay people as “neurodivergent”?

      3. Neuro-divergent people often have to advocate for themselves.

      4. Doctors are educated more about the subject than a random lemming and are more suited to making medical decisions. The research says basically nobody regrets it.

      5. Surgery is harmful. Sometimes the doctor has to cut you open. But the benefits are often much greater for the patient.

      6. I’m just JAQin off brooooo, I gotta JAQ offffff, im JAQin offffffff, Im just curious bro, I’m JAQin in my jorts bro, im nearly there bro, I just gotta keep JAQ’in offf brooo I’m nearly there bro you gotta help me finish, au au Im

        It’s ok, from all the downvotes and lack of genuine answers I already understood that asking questions here isn’t encouraged and I should just treat this as a religion.

        But if anybody eventually decides to sincerely answer my question, I’m still interested in expanding my knowledge.
