Utah didn’t ban youth hormone therapy such as testosterone boosters for cis boys. It didn’t ban “gender affirming surgery” such as breast augmentation for cis girls.

Just for trans kids.

You know, in case you’re wondering if lawmakers are really out to “protect the children” like they claim.

Give me a break.

@georgetakei I am not aware of all things related. But as a plastic surgeon here in Brazil, I think breast implants are not fda approved for young girls. I think it is a 21 years or older approval. And I think it makes sense to ban breast implants for at least 16 year old girls.

Not sure about the other things, but I also don't think you get public funding for breast implants in young girls.

As I said, I am just talking about the breast augmentation part of all of this, not the rest

@stocchero @georgetakei

I'm not aware of age restriction laws on breast augmentation in US for cis girls, though the US FDA approval is for 18+ for saline implants, so 18 yr olds who can't drink alcohol or buy cigarettes can get breast implants. They can also sign up for military service.

Yes, sorry, I forgot the saline implants are 18y. We don't use them here in Brazil, and forgot about them.
