Argentina's president says he has banned gender-affirming care for people under age 18. A presidential spokesperson said Wednesday the government was repealing a 2012 gender identity law provision allowing such practices with parental or guardian consent.

gender reassignment surgery is not done on minors with the exception of intersex babies(which itself is questionable ethics). Minors can and often do get a tattoos with parental approval.
They can also get psychological counciling and be referred to as a preferred name. These count as gender affirming care.
How is this affecting you? Why do you care what someone else does to their body?
“cut their dick off” yeah that’s exactly what gender affirming care is. This isn’t about surgery, it’s about HRT and puberty blockers, and the regret rates for all of those things are super low. Besides, there is already an epidemic of trans suicides. Do I need to repeat that? People are killing themselves because of transphobia, and yes, detransitioners exist, but most people don’t regret getting gender reaffirming care, and again, this is about HRT and puberty blockers, not just surgery.
You mean how in the US they literally mutilate the genitalia of a majority of male children as soon as they are born and how no-one is doing anything about it?
I agree. That should be illegal.
Those babies can’t possibly consent to having their prepuces removed. Forced genital mutilation. Fucking disgusting.
Nobody is doing that. “Gender-affirming care” also includes giving hormone blockers to a kid who started puberty way too early.
