5. Returning to the leaked posts, in this thread from 2014, a parent excitedly discusses upcoming “MTF bottom surgery” for her 15-yr-old. Commenters seem to all be on board, praising the “pioneer” MD.pic.twitter.com/PNOJbDiCEI

6. It’s “awesome” that insurance is covering the surgery. Therapist didn’t know much about gender, more interested in trauma and attachment issues. “Blockers by 11, cross hormones by 13, surgery by 15—that’s progress.”pic.twitter.com/lCw9m0Vfpk

7. There’s a substantial, enthusiastic market for these services. Again, we want to emphasize: These parents are merely following the advice and recommendations of licensed professionals. If gender docs/psychs weren’t on board with this, would parents be?pic.twitter.com/cHh2YLo08f

But they'll still be dilating for the rest of their lives. I think this provides a better argument to delay the SRS until after full adult brain development (approx. Age 25) to allay concerns if full informed consent as well, if anything.

Parents should generally be nowhere near the genitalia of teenagers, definitely not helping them out with dildos.
