A deep oddity confronting anyone who starts thinking about these issues is that if "gender affirming care" affirms gender, then gender must be directly related to one's sexed body, but it's also an axiom of the pro-affirmation view that one's gender is independent of one's body.
I am once again reminding us that in order to know whether these surgeries affirm someone's "gender," we'd have to first know what a gender is. And, embarrassingly, nobody seems to know that.
