Even our language isn’t safe from mutilation.
well put
That’s right.
Gender affirming care is a contradiction in terms the way people use that terminology.
If we were truly administering gender affirming care, to affirm the gender of a troubled individual, we would counsel girls and women that they were born female, and that they are female , and we would affirm that the fact that they are female.
The same thing will be true of males who have gender dysphoria; we would counsel them to affirm the fact that they are male.
