Anybody like to take a guess which body parts we're talking about?

It's a ruling to do with health insurance in California, confirming there doesn't need to be a lower age limit for double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery on trans men because it's not classified as cosmetic surgery. "... in an individual diagnosed with gender dysphoria, who is born with female characteristics and identifies as male, the presence of a female chest is an abnormal body structure caused by gender dysphoria..."

Utterly appalling.

Olson-Kennedy: Well, I, I don’t advocate removal for breast tissue from young women. I advocate for chest reconstruction in young men. That's some serious gaslighting from someone who passed medical boards.

One reply reminds us about Dr Johanna Olson-Kennedy, "medical director of the largest transgender-youth clinic in the United States, one of four directors of a multi-million-dollar National Institutes of Health (i.e., taxpayer-funded) experimental study on early intervention in transgender youth, and one of the most prominent clinical activists in the United States".

www.nationalreview.com/magazine/2019/12/09/the-tragedy-of-the-trans-child/ Extremely hard-hitting article about the James Younger case in Texas - parents in dispute about a male child whose mother claims now identifies as a girl, father disagrees, it went to court.

Odeneal: Well, if you remove the breasts from a young woman, she will never be able to lactate or to breastfeed an infant; is that correct?

Olson-Kennedy: Well, I, I don’t advocate removal for breast tissue from young women. I advocate for chest reconstruction in young men.
