This is a common myth spread by transphobic - for lack of a better term - degenerates like Matt Walsh and JK Rowling. Basically they're saying sex reassignment surgery is being performed on minors. Surprisingly, this shit is easy to debunk.

My response: No one is advocating for SRS to be performed on people below 18 and rightfully so. There's a reason why puberty blockers are recommended for trans kids, why we campaign against discrimination of trans kids, why we campaigned to not need surgery to be considered a man or a woman.

I would argue this myth is nothing more than a strawman

"Why we campaigned to not need surgery to be considered a man or woman." This just made me realise something. If we limit gender to be what is in your pants, then that just gives trans people more incentive to get SRS. Transphobia is contradicting itself.
