What I'm saying is that you already can't have a medical professional do whatever you want on your body. Can't even sell your organs!
Yes, but transgender medical care is actually seen as a medically necessary procedure for certain people. If your arm had to be amputated for some medical reason, would you use the same argument as you do for transgender people?
I wouldn't. What you said is the main point of contention though. I don't think even conservatives would oppose the surgeries if they thought of them as necessary medical care.
Yeah, i think we should leave the decision of what is medically necessary up to doctors and not politicians. The medical community has been saying for a long time that transgender care is medically necessary for transgender people.
Don't bother to explain they only get what they want to get, I just proved this point here in the comments
