I think the people surveyed agree with you here. They’re saying that they’re opposed to the surgery, but they don’t want to ban the surgeries even though they oppose them.
Gender affirming care for trans kids involves seeing psychiatrists, social transitioning, and, if they’re lucky, puberty blockers till they’re old enough to decide whether they want to medically and surgically transition.
They need to be informed that surgery alleviates gender dysphoria and saves tens of thousands in the long run from poor mental health to lessen productivity.
The healthcare system should cover every gender affirming care surgery available.
Don’t accept their definition shifting. They wrap surgery into “gender affirming care” then say young children get GAC to make people think they’re regularly performing surgery on 12 year olds. Hormone blockers are GAC too.

Minors aren’t getting any surgeries.

Minors are gettin surgery if they’re intersex at birth, in the US especially they get surgically assigned a binary sex even though it is no longer recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and actively opposed by the UN.
And that’s a completely different issue that’s totally separate from the anti trans laws being pushed by the right wing today.
I am aware. I wasn’t in the survey
