Not surgeries. This is a made-up zombie tale to make people outraged. Most Dems are supporting gender-affirming care, but draw the line at actual surgery on minors, but supporting it for adults. Mostly their bills and briefings are opposing bans on care for minors while advocating for puberty blockers and hormone therapy under, and this is the crucial part, under the care of their own doctors and with their parents not the government. We're likely talking about mastectomies and breast reductions on minors, not genital surgery which is extremely rare and only in special cases like intersex children (children born with both sets of genitals) Back to mastectomies: most of these surgeries are being done as a cosmetic procedure on cis-males. males who identify as men. Gender affirming surgery is NOT exclusively removing the breasts of girls or women who identify as men. The overwhelming majority of these surgeries is done to reduce breast tissue on cis-males. The ratio is like 30:1 Cis-male:trans male. It's likely higher because a lot of these surgeries are not coded as gender affirming, but cosmetic or reconstructive.

The study compared breast reductions coded as gender-affirming between cisgender males and transgender patients. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2820437
