Why is breast surgery available at 15 when bottom surgery is only available at 18?
Why is breast surgery available at 15 when bottom surgery is only available at 18?
I was watching this video by second thought and when he talked about the bomb threat towards the children's hospital, he mentioned that breast surgery is available for 15 and older while genital surgery is available for 18 and older. My question is, why? Is breast surgery less risky/more reversible/something else than bottom surgery? Please, I really am not writing this with transphobic intentions, I'm just tryinf to understand. Thanks.
You're viewing a single thread.
You can get breast implants, but once your penis is cut off or you have a hysterectomy and have your vagina closed, they’re gone forever.
Neither should be offered to minors.
Neither of them are offered to minors, and nobody is suggesting that we do.
Also, there's more to gender affirming surgery than just "penis is cut off". Few of us elect to have such surgery to begin with(I plan to, but I am definitely in the minority here), but it is a useful tool in our arsenal to help relieve dysphoria.
Is a 15 year old not a minor?
Don’t pretend “it doesn’t happen”. It happens. Minors are having their perfectly healthy parts cut off.
yeah, no. go away.
