Adults should be allowed to make adult decisions, im not saying let children transition with full surgery, but for christ sake, next thing we know these people are gonna get the drinking age raised to 25 as well.

The person in that pic is right though. At 18, the brain isn't done developing yet. And nobody would really consider an 18 year old an actual adult. I'd agree with you though, OP. If people want to go on HRT and have surgery at 18, I wouldn't mind if they could, so long as they pay for it themselves and don't steal from taxpayers.

Well, the vast majority of western society considers 18 the adult age.

Just because they consider it "adults" doesn't mean they're right. They only did that because they opened a can of worms by allowing 18 year old teens to vote. Other European countries are now opening another can of worms by lowering it to 16 by voting, and you know what happens next, not only 18-19 year olds are now "adults", now 16, 17, 18 and 19 year olds are now "adults".
