It's a good decision IMO. Some would argue voluntary surgery is okay but it's just a giant can of worms.
Another giant can of worms is deciding which individuals get to choose what to do with their bodies.
You already can't have a doctor amputate your healthy limb.
If only a doctor would amputate your head, so you could stop filling the world with your ignorance.
What I'm saying is that you already can't have a medical professional do whatever you want on your body. Can't even sell your organs!
Don't bother to explain they only get what they want to get, I just proved this point here in the comments
Yes, but transgender medical care is actually seen as a medically necessary procedure for certain people. If your arm had to be amputated for some medical reason, would you use the same argument as you do for transgender people?
