"Gender affirming healthcare"

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"?

Women who get breast implants have body dysphoria on what they think their gender should look like.
They mutilate their bodies and insert foreign materials in it. Why do you think they are altering their sex organs?
They try to "affirm" their bodies for their gender.
Should only one group have that choice?

Destruction of adult sexual function isn’t “care.”
Any health practitioner or parent signing off on their child taking puberty blockers should sign a pledge that should any child later regret their transitioning that the adults involved will agree to chemical castration for themselves.

Do they use tax dollars?
Do they claim its life saving?
Do they claim its a right for minors to get chest bumps?

1) You see 17 year olds getting breast implants?
2) Breast implants are actually almost completely reversible.
Any other stupid analogies you want to fail at?

It's mutilation.....the only care is Big Pharma caring about their profits.

Absolutely not.
Just leave kids out of it.

It’s their way to make “mutilation of children” into a G-rated Carebears and rainbows land thing instead

Umm...what? I'm not aware of a single physician who performs that type of surgery advertise it as a "gender affirming surgery". The question is not one of choice to have it performed but rather the terminology used in describing the procedure.

So you want children to be able to choose?
Let me guess, you are a supporter of

= Big pharma and doctors having an ATM machine for as long as the trans person lives. It can cost up to 100K for the gender affirming care and insurance doesn't cover a lot of the cost. This shite is a money grab along with mentally ill people joining in on a fad.

IMO, a lot of plastic surgery is inappropriate, but adults can live their own lives.
The pushback that people are giving is against children being groomed to alter their bodies. I don't know why this is a controversial take. Kids are not capable of making lifelong decisions. I mean, you wouldn't let a kid walk into a doctor's office and demand testosterone and trenbolone because he wants bigger muscles.
Why would you allow him/her to demand to be sterilized via hormone blockers and body modification surgery. It's insane that we're even doing this now, much less contemplating it.

Is there a push for elective cosmetic surgery to be covered by insurance and employers? Is there a push for elective cosmetic surgery on kids without the input of parents?

It's "sex change surgery." Sex is biological and hard to change (impossible, at the chromosomal level). Gender is a social and mental construct that is fluid and can and does change. And that's *their* argument. At the root of all this is the insane idea that you can and should change biological identity to accommodate a fluid (and in almost all cases pathological) sense of psychological identity.
I would be better not to say "gender affirming," even when quoting headlines or comments.
