It amounts to genital mutilation. Worse, it is done by doctors, in hospitals who sanction it, and who then get paid by the medical insurance companies.
Less than 10 years ago, if we had read of some criminal who was kidnapping young children and cutting off their genitals, we would be rightly horrified. Now the ruling class calls it “gender affirming care”.
You are correct. Ms Gabbard doesn’t seem to grap that there is more at stake here than combating amoral greed, though that is certainly present, This,like the operational plan to flood the US with turd world emigrants across the southern border is existential. The doctors and medical professionals eagerly lining up to perform these mutilations and the so-called educationalists grooming, recruiting, and targeting children for this process believe deeply in queering Aerica. Why would take a book to answer but the short answer is they truly hate tradition, middle class, mostly white and at least nominally Christian Americans. The hatred is deeply irrational but is a part of what is correctly called the Liberal Death Wish in which hatred of perceived current and historical ‘crimes’ makes liberals desire changes that will effectively destroy America the country but not the nation state. The latter is become a major agency in destroying the former. Overwhelmingly the individuals being caught up in this deadly procedure are white and from middle class homes, just like the rest of the queering strategy the force of the state is to be used to manipulate, encourage and intimidate middle class white people into allowing their children to be mutilated or brain washed into being maimed eunuchs or perverted degenerates. The people propagandizing and pushing this program should be shot, pure and simple. They are levying war against the American people and their country.
