Teenage surgery without parent's consent

To add to that, I agree with Bella's point. When we say "minor" what do we mean? Under 21, under 18, under 16? I think at age 16 you're pretty independent and should be able to make your own choices about your body.

I think in reality it's even more nuanced than that. Some reach maturity of thought at 14, for example. 

But the point is if any other surgeries require parental approval this shouldn't get a pass just because it's about transgenders' rights which are a minority.
