Opinion: WaPo Editorial Board Misleadingly Attacks Care of Trans Youth

There are parallels here to abortion, where a certain bloc of people believe "the only moral abortion is my abortion" [0], and now also "the only moral gender-affirming care is my gender-affirming care."

There's a certain quixotic daydream appeal to the idea of vindictively giving them exactly what they demand. Merely quixotic, of course, because the harm on innocents would be unacceptable.

Ex: "I'm sorry Mr. and Mrs. Smith, but you outlawed any treatment of your anemic 6-year old daughter who just started menstruating, and your son will just have to be bullied as Big Titty Timmy until he becomes 18, our hands are tied except to help treat his depression. You also made it illegal for you to obtain gender-affirming car such as breast-enlargement, wrinkle removal, hair restoration, or erectile-dysfunction pills."
