That's true for adults but in the case of kids/teens, once they get put on the hormone blockers they get railroaded into the hormones and then the surgery. Jackie Green, Jazz Jennings etc being prominent examples. It's actually quite weird that for adults the argument is "you don't need bottom dysphoria or surgery to be VaLiD" but then for kids the argument is "chop it all off as young as possible".

In both of the 2 cases I mentioned, the boys never went through male puberty and thus never developed an adult male body (so they were 16/18 year olds with the penis of an 8 year old), and as such there wasn't enough material for the construction of the vaginoplasty, causing even more complications. (And we only know all this because both of them have creepy moms insistent on spilling every detail to the media to grab more attention). Jazz said [s]he has never orgasmed or even felt sexual arousal! idk how common that is but you'd think at some point they'd start to think maybe this isn't actually the best course of treatment for having a son that likes to play with dolls and wear dresses
