I feel like this is a stance taken in order to pander to a base that doesn't really exist. I don't really know how common surgeries even are for trans kids; I suspect it's quite uncommon and at the discretion of the surgeon/doctor.

Pretty sure most are top surgery. So an unnecessary procedure if cisciety let trans kids go through puberty at the same time as their cis peers. Cissexism. ๐Ÿฅฐ

In the rare event someone is getting bottom surgery before 18: good! Cis kids get their genitals before they turn 0.

The fact of the matter is running on anti-trans issues is a proven loser for Republicans, but since the sliver of wealthy older Dems who steer the party don't really understand, and are even at times weirded out by trans people, they project their discomfort onto the Republicans, and say that being too pro-trans or woke is a stance that will alienate general voters. This is their socially acceptable way of telegraphing that they themselves are swayed by the Republican anti-trans panic, and personally wish to halt Democrats' pushes for trans rights.
