    I don’t watch videos, so I’m not going to follow the argument but I will say there does not exist people who don’t give informed consent to breaking their legs. I’m sure they’re very aware of the risks.

    Edit: to be clear, I’m sure dysphoria can be a factor, but if they’re willing to have their legs broken I imagine other types of treatment will be ineffective at relieving that dysphoria. Similar to how people are willing to get the ends of their bones chopped off and replacements hammered in once they have enough knee pain to necessitate it.

      I see this as no different than that woman who was purposefully blinded by her doctor. The people seeking these surgeries need mental help, not their legs broken and being unable to walk properly for months, or years. In my mind, there’s no clear health concern that allows doctors to perform this operation.

      Before anyone says anything, I feel this way about most plastic surgeries and the “doctors” who perform them.
