If that's the kind of people you see all around you, then you're hanging out in some extremely questionable places that the rest of us aren't. Where are you hanging out with people who have strong opinions on sexual sterilization of minors or equivalent? What kinds of weird shit are you into?
All of us who work in tech are more than familiar with our weird alt right coworkers who think their constant guzzling of FOX News and OANN type propaganda is "information". You're not special, except as gossip fodder.
I believe he's referring to corrective surgeries and gender blockers for gender dysphoric people. Surgeries are not done to minors anywhere probably, but puberty blockers are obviously administered to minors. Studies show that puberty blockers very often are followed up with cross-sex hormones, which do cause sterilization for natal males especially.
Oh so he's basically operating purely on alt right propaganda.
It's a bit dangerous to allow radical fringe groups to seize facts as their own propaganda.
