Original Note:
It is incorrect to say surgeries for minors don't happen. Numbers may be small but all children should be protected from harmful & irreversible procedures for which they cannot give informed consent. 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
