On one hand arguing that a 15 yo isn’t old enough to realise the consequences of spreading AI nudes of a real girl.

On the other hand arguing that 15 yo’s are totes old and responsible enough to undergo life changing surgery/procedures.

What are you talking about? Teens undergo life changing surgery all the time, whether it is for a sports injury, to correct scoliosis, oral surgery, etc.

True. And how do those differ from trans care?

They have higher regret rates than trans care?

No sweetie, those can be diagnosed through imaging and completed without the patient saying one word.

Trans care is a dialog.

Nice try, better luck next time?

You’re stretching even further now. Most medical care is based on a patient telling a doctor what is bothering them. There’s allergies, soft tissue injuries, psychological needs, sleep disorders, digestive problems, eating disorders,learning disabilities, etc. etc. etc.

Teens shouldn’t be allowed treatment for any of those? Or will you keep drawing more and more granular distinctions to fit your conclusion?

Let’s just take an example that fits your definition: bariatric surgery is 1) surgical 2) not determined by imaging 3) undergone only in consultation with the patient 4) undergone only alongside psychological and lifestyle support 5) related to future health outcomes 6) related to the patient’s body image 7) sometimes appropriate in teens/adolescents 8) requires lifelong lifestyle changes 9) not related to an accute injury or illness 10) it is not an urgent lifesaving procedure

It is in every way exactly like gender affirming care except not being related to gender.

So surely you would argue that bariatric surgery should be banned for teens, based on your position. Their brains are still developing so they cannot possibly make such a decision that will impact the rest of their lives. If they still feel like they need it when they are adults, then they can do it then.

Right?
