I wasn't getting any answers in this thread where the topic came up so I decided to start a new one to see if I would get any responses. How can a minor who can't vote and can't consent to sex consent to gender reassignment surgery before they reach puberty?
Your problem is that the whole premise of your thread is false, so the question that you pose is unanswerable' One of three things is going on here. 1)You have been fed a line of bullshit about how trans kids are treated and you swallowed it whole without questioning it because it is what you want to believe …or 2) You lack the ability or willingness to do your own research on the issue and decided that it is easier to just go along with the tribal mentality that supports your world view. 3) You know that its bullshit but still make these claims about mutilating children in order to perpetuate anti trans hysteria-motivated by fear and bigotry.
Here is a reading assignment for you. I suggest that you actually read it before you continue to make a damned fool of yourself
As extremist lawmakers in state after state try to attack our transgender community’s basic health care, the misinformation is rampant.

Young people seeking transition-related medical care first receive
significant counseling and a psychological assessment. The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), which sets
global best practices for transition care, recommends “extensive exploration of psychological, family, and social issues” prior to any physical interventions for young people.
Puberty-blocking medications and hormone therapy for trans youth and adults have been prescribed and studied by experts for over 40 years. When needed, cisgender (meaning non-transgender) children also
safely receive these medications for other health conditions. In addition, puberty-blocking medications simply
delay puberty. If the medications are stopped, puberty will continue.
Like all medical interventions, surgical care is highly individual, and only undertaken after significant consultations with experts. It’s important to know that
very young children do not receive surgeries or medications.
For young children, gender transition is a social transition, which often involves a haircut, a new name, and new clothes that match their gender identity. For adolescents, any medical transition care such as hormone therapy or puberty blockers are only prescribed based on an individual young person’s needs.
Any surgical care for teenagers under 18 is rare and individualized. It is carefully examined under the supervision of medical professionals using standardized, evidence-based guidelines. Like everyone, those teenagers deserve the best possible medical care for their well-being. Importantly,
young people deserve privacy as they make their own decisions with the support of parents, mental health professionals, and doctors.
