Good to know. It would probably be too much to hope that Snopes is impartial. I don't trust most mainstream media these days.

Even the author of this article seems to realize that it would be insane for doctors to perform that surgery on a minor without parental consent, but doctors are insane these days. Surgeons don't abide by medical ethics. All they care about is getting paid. Even if some doctors do care, you can always find one who doesn't. My question was more if any kid under 18 had managed to get surgery in Oregon without parental consent because that would be a big boost of visibility to the insanity that's happening to children. We all know it's happening to kids with parental consent, but without it, that would be a bigger news story.

If it was my kid, I'd hightail it to another state. The government can't take kids away from parents for not medicalizing them, at least not yet, much to the displeasure of some trans activists.
