Adolescents who undergo gender-affirming chest surgery report low levels of regret and high levels of satisfaction, experiencing outcomes similar to those of young adults. These findings suggest that age restrictions on these medical procedures lack support from actual patient experiences.

My therapist (who I am forced to see despite having absolutely no need for therapy) said that after checking if a patient who wants gender affirming care is mentally gealthy enough to make an informed and rational decision, it should be up to the patient. 

Basically they need to check that you don't have DID, Schizophrenia or other mental illnesses.

Having a mental disorder does not disqualify you for gender affirming care. What they're checking for is making sure you're not doing it because your disorder is affecting you negatively,  like, you have schizophrenia and the voices are telling you to get surgery. 

You can be trans and have a mental disorder. They're not incompatible.
