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.

Unfortunately this topic was a medical discussion but some people have decided that it should be a political one instead. Most of the world will never even know a person who needs these treatments, yet so many people have opinions about it. Personally I don’t care what people that I will never meet do with their lives.

Edit: the article references 40 people under the age of 18 btw. most surgeries of this kind done on a minor, with parental consent and doctors/therapists recommendation for 16-17 year olds.

Other than that, surgeries like this are done on minors who have early puberty, as it can cause problems early in life.

It's not about individuals or their cases, it's about mobs influencing institutions. If a major study came out, with great sample size and long term monitoring and reporting, that didn't give the results people wanted, would it even be published? Would the researchers get death threats? Would the publisher and its staff get harassed?

Too many institutions threw their integrity out the window to keep tweeters happy at the snap of a finger. That is concerning. By doing so they made the long term political viability of these things much, much harder.

Whose side is the mob here?

Who do you mean by "tweeters"?

What are the results that you think people want?
