Teenage surgery without parent's consent

[mlmooney89]

I feel like this question is too broad. Too many variables go into the reasoning.

Also I wonder if 16 is too young still for surgery. I know I'm not the same person I was at 16. Granted something like gender changing you'd prolly know for sure by 16 but its still really young. I know two years doesn't sound like a lot in the grand scheme of life but for a teenager's mental growth it is a lot. I think 18 is much better of an age. If my kid wanted to change I would get them the hormones and such and let them dress/look whichever gender they felt but no physical cutting would happen until my name didn't hafta go on a consent form. I can't make that decision for them. That's up to them.
