Anyway, I'm at the point where I don't think even Adults should be greenlit to get these surgeries.

I think they're insane, but I wouldn't want to live in a place where I couldn't do whatever I wanted with my body. As long as they aren't harming anyone else in the process, I believe people should be allowed to do what they want, even if I disagree. You can't really force someone to stop being crazy.

But we can punish doctors who sell patients this lie. Informed consent should require patient's understanding that this is a cosmetic surgery, what the complications are and that it will NOT change their sex or gender in any way. If they still choose to get it, then that's on the patient. But I think surgeons who perform these surgeries should lose their licenses, especially with how uninformed their patients are of the predictably terrifying complications.

Absolutely.

The medical professionals involved need to be held accountable.

Transitioning is body modification, not medicine. How many doctors are willing to castrate a healthy man just because the patient prefers the look? Not many, because that would be irresponsible at best. But if the patient claims to be a woman, suddenly it's not irresponsible anymore? Suddenly it's not a ridiculous request?

They can do it on their own dime then. Unfortunately, in some places, others have to fund their completely anti-health procedures and the handling of all the negative consequences thereof.

Agreed, it's elective and should be treated as such. Most insurance policies don't cover plastic surgery because feeling insecure or ugly is a personal problem, not a medical one.

Imagine if taxpayer money was funding 'otherkin-affirming care' for people who believe their animals or whatever. It's absurd.
