As a non-Muslim, I wonder about the medical necessity of male or female circumcision, especially as it is commonly practiced without the consent of the patient. The latter is illegal in the US as of 2021, but the former seems a much larger and more pressing issue than gender affirming care.

I just don't get the obsession with this topic. If you're a parent, your kids are being told things you don't like all the time, including being propositioned or being offered recreational drugs. This is very low on my list of worries. Talk to them to help them make better decisions, using logical arguments instead of groundless religious commandments. Problem solved.
