Isn’t that the whole point?
Indeed I do, because they will be able to sell this person hormones for the rest of their life afterwards. Even if the person regrets it and de-transitions afterwards they were already castrated so they’ll still need to take hormones for the rest of their lives (or deal with the awful hormone deficiency symptoms that can shorten their lives) for the medical industry it’s a win-win. Either way they get a customer for life buying the drugs for the rest of their life because they can no longer make them on their own.
That’s probably the biggest reason they’re pushing this mutilation on children, if they get them when they’re young then they’ll be customers for much longer than if they started when they were older.
Exactly
Plus ongoing therapy to treat their mental issues for the rest of their life

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.

Yes, it’s the billion dollar industry, millions to fake the change and millions more to try and reverse once the kids learn they’ve been
Yes
There’s easier ways to make a buck than surgery, but it probably plays into a larger strategy.
For one, they’d rather get you hooked on pills which have a higher ROI and are easier to sell at scale. So, keep doing those puberty blockers for 10 years before you’re old enough for surgery, then keep guzzling artificial hormones etc for the rest of your life after.
Even still, I think we’re talking about small enough numbers of people that it’s not going to motivate a whole lot of effort just to get those patients’ money. But as a precedent for forcing insurance companies and/or the government to spend millions of dollars per patient, it’s a good long term play. Why not spend that much per patient on weight loss pills, ADHD medication, etc?
After the surgery you have someone who will never again be a normal person. They take a person who might never have gone to the doctor despite having insurance where you’re guaranteed to get paid to having someone who requires a lifetime of care that insurance needs to pay for who was pre-selected as having insurance.
There’s audio out there of hospital administrators talking about that exact thing.
They don’t think they’re absolutely evil because they also have been indoctrinated into thinking they’re doing the right thing. That’s despite having something where 60-90% of kids are cured if you do nothing and just let them grow up.
