Rowan @rowangarden.bsky.social · 21/09/2026The idea that trans surgery is "castrating kids" does border on blood libel and I think you're right to go there as a comparison. Because our mind fills in "prepubescent kids" which is a lie. And it is meant to provoke discomfort and outrage. 130

Rowan @rowangarden.bsky.social · 11/09/2026So like. We can legitimately say to Jesse Watters "no one is castrating kids you creep" and talk about how bad a lie that is, as we defend the age-appropriate ways that kids can transition. Right? 100
Rowan @rowangarden.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Okay, I'm trans and I still don't know who to ask. I'm strongly in favor of kids transitioning, but not genital surgeries... right? I'm guessing you physically can't do those, won't get good results, until the kid is well thru puberty and is a young adult. 100
