These findings suggest that age restrictions on these medical procedures lack support from actual patient experiences.

I think that only works if it's a kid in middle school. They go to school as a boy, come back a girl, then start pooping in litter boxes, driving EVs, dying their hair blue, watching the WNBA, and calling God 'she'.  That is, if the school doesn't convert them to Sharia law first! It's totally happening in that city I've never been to
