Transgender surgeries ARE being performed on children. Here is the statistical evidence:
🟨 Olson-Kennedy et al (2018): “The mean (SD) age at chest surgery in this cohort was 17.5 (2.4) years (range, 13-24 years), with 33 (49%) being younger than 18 years. Of the 33 postsurgical participants younger than 18 years at surgery, 16 (48%) were 15 years or younger (Figure). At the time of survey, the mean (SD) age of participants without surgery was 17 (2.5) years (range, 13-23 years), with 39 (57%) being younger than 18 years.”
🟩 Marinkovic & Newfield (2018): “Fourteen subjects…out of 108 trans males had chest reconstructive surgery done between June 2013 and January 2017 at an average age of 17.2 years (range 13.4– 19.7 years), with three subjects being under 16 years of age”
🟪 Milrod & Karasic (2016): “Of the 11 surgeons who had performed vaginoplasty on a transgender female minor, 10 were in private practice. Reported ages of minors undergoing surgery ranged from 15 to “a day before 18” years”
