1 year agoThere are definitely trans kids getting surgeries, it’s just in the hundreds value rather than thousands. 238 in 2019, 256 in 2020, and 282 in 2021 had top surgery.

Between 2000 and 2005, 72% of gender confirmation surgeries were bottom surgeries; from 2006 to 2011, that number increased to 84%. And the number of patients insured by Medicare or Medicaid seeking these procedures increased threefold between 2012-2013 and 2014.
The stats exist, people just don’t care enough to look for them.
I would love for this to be a feature, I want to filter out any posts that could be a trigger like sexual assault. I could do it in the reddit third party apps.
