How do you feel about non-consensual genital surgery performed on babies? It seems like the removal of your gonads was something you appreciated but the surgery on your clitoris was not. In California there was legislation introduced that wanted to ban these surgeries. Not sure if it passed.

Sorry, didn’t mean to assume your feelings about the surgeries performed on you. There was an exception in the California law for surgeries that were required to maintain urinary function, etc. But like you said there is little education about it. It’s hard to know which surgeries are for physiological function and which are for merely enforcing societal gender/sex norms.

Do you have any opinions about recent state level legislation that bans gender affirmation surgeries/therapies for children? Oddly enough, I don’t think these people thought it through as the laws can also ban non-consensual surgeries on intersex babies.
