I was watching this video by second thought and when he talked about the bomb threat towards the children’s hospital, he mentioned that breast surgery is available for 15 and older while genital surgery is available for 18 and older. My question is, why? Is breast surgery less risky/more reversible/something else than bottom surgery? Please, I really am not writing this with transphobic intentions, I’m just tryinf to understand. Thanks.
I would assume it has to do with bodily development more than anything, like nerves and shit, but I’m not sure.
I’d say looking more at medical journals and the like will provide more answers than an internet forum.
But keep in mind that just because it’s available doesn’t mean that people can just go sign up for it. They’d still need their doctors to sign off on it to get insurance to do anything other than wish them good luck.
