I see people sometimes tweeting that those under 18 already can& #39;t get gender-affirming surgeries, and this isn& #39;t actually true - in the US there are surgeons who will do vaginoplasty for 16-year-olds and chest reconstruction for 13-year-olds

That doesn& #39;t mean it& #39;s a problem that this is happening. It means that if you think this is a problem then maybe you should consider that trans people& #39;s doctors know better than you.

Don& #39;t let anyone try to shift the Overton window into getting you to agree that under-18s can& #39;t or shouldn& #39;t access gender-affirming surgeries.

You should be pushing the window in the opposite direction: not only is this already happening, we already know that it& #39;s just fine that it& #39;s happening.

If it& #39;s not already allowed, we should be arguing for it to be allowed as a decision to be made between trans patients and the medical professionals treating them.
