It boggles my mind that a hospital will apologize for something like this but nobody appears to have any problem at all medicalizing and then sterilizing preteens.

Why shouldn’t they apologise? Performing surgery on infants is disgusting.

They absolutely should.

But I meant that doctors are apologizing for operating on intersex kids, while it's perfectly legal in the USA to medicalize and sterilize trans-identified preteens and perform double mastectomies on 13 year olds. It's tragic and ironic that they're apparently sorry for one and yet cheerfully promoting the other.
