""Ninety-nine per cent of the parents would not let their 17-year-old child get breast implants. If you wouldn't let a child get breast implants, you're not gonna want them to have any kind of surgery. We all know the brain is not developed," she said."
""As noted by the Human Rights Campaign, in the rare instances where gender affirming surgery has been performed on those under the age of 18, it has been done so only on patients for whom it is "deemed clinically necessary" to reduce depression and suicidal ideation stemming from gender dysphoria.""
A public figure expressed opposition to gender-affirming surgeries for minors while stating support for adults making their own medical choices. The figure compared gender-affirming operations for youth to allowing a 17-year-old to get breast implants, citing parental reluctance and undeveloped brains. Gender-affirming surgeries for people under 18 are described as extremely rare in the US. The Human Rights Campaign notes that, in rare cases, surgery on minors is performed only when deemed clinically necessary to reduce depression and suicidal ideation linked to gender dysphoria and follows extensive clinical and familial consultation.
