The phrase "gender affirming healthcare" is widely used in media reports and studies regarding the matter. This phrase, to the best of my knowledge, includes body altering surgeries.
I've always been confused by this. If the argument is gender does not necessarily correlate with a person's sexual organs, then why is a surgery to alter the sexual organs to match the person's self-identified gender considered "gender affirming"?
We need to stop using their language, even when in a mocking tone. Using their language is one of the main ways they move the Overton Window left. Call it what it really is - "genital mutilation surgery" instead of sex reassignment and "puberty destroyers" instead of "gender affirming care" or "puberty blockers."
