Original Note:

Recent apparent attempts to remove age limits require pushback via bans. https://unherd.com/newsroom/over-5000-us-children-have-undergone-transgender-surgeries/ https://americafirstpolicy.com/issues/gender-transition-medications-and-surgeries-for-children-in-the-u.s https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/25/health/transgender-minors-surgeries.html
