    Wait, is it really not clear from that context that he believes it’s the gender affirming care that is not scientific but ideological? Or are you just not clearly saying it’s a projection?

      I’m saying that he’s clearly projecting but that it’s not clear whether or not he’s self-aware enough to notice it himself

      One problem is that he either doesn’t know or doesn’t care that “gender affirming care” doesn’t automatically mean “surgery.” Medical guidelines say that should be limited to 18 years or older, but of course he talks about chopping children’s penises off.

        Oh, make no mistake about it, he’s an idiot who is at best pandering to a base. It just wasn’t clear if the other poster was calling him out for projection, or if they couldn’t parse what he said.
