MODERATORS
Things could have changed, but here's a reasonably recent article.
He supports banning trans surgery for minors is the main takeaway.
It's very rare and done when considered medically necessary. Note that all these bans specifically have exceptions for cis people (cis teenage girls can get a boob job, just not trans), as well as for involuntary mutilation of intersex children, and involuntary circumcision. They've never been about protecting children. They're about hurting trans kids specifically when they aren't in any danger in the first place.
Gender affirming surgery isnt uncommon at all in minors, but it is usually for straight children: breast reduction/augmentation, and much much more rarely genital and cosmetic surgeries, and even all of those aren't for transgender children.
Also here's a source, not like you need one as it's fairly common knowledge and easy to find, but maybe someone reading is looking for one. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2808707
To your point though, yes, it's a boogyman.
