There is a video, recorded at a medical conference, in which a female physician speaking to a large audience of physicians is singing the praises of trans surgery because it is a cash cow due to the need for multiple follow up surgeries. I saw the video and was appalled at the forthright admission. Unfortunately, I don't have a link to the video.

It exists in the USA, where doctors make extra money by pushing circumcision of neonates.

Males, not females, I assume. If your healthcare wasn't a business, perhaps medics would be less quick to remove body parts that may become infected and get them sued later ....,

I don't know why you imagine I am in the USA.

Foreskins very, very rarely get infected. Fingers and toes probably get infected far more often, but US doctors don't remove them.

Infected foreskin happened to my brother and a former boyfriend, both as children.
