QuestionSources on male minors receiving surgery?
What’s the documented young end for bottom surgery? Jazz was 17, but I feel certain I had seen a mention of one as young as fourteen. Am I crazy?
Also, a good source on the boy who died in the original Dutch study?
Edit: Oh hey and what’s that word for when more cases of a condition arise in response to a treatment becoming available?
You’re all amazing.
On the teenager who died in the Dutch study:
for which this is a very useful article:

Reported ages of minors undergoing surgery ranged from 15 to “a day before 18” years (surgeon 7).

This is from 2017. God only knows how many boys have been operated on since then.
You can tell it's from 2017 because it says:
A qualitative semistructured interview approach was used to collect data from 13 male and 7 female surgeons who perform transgender vaginoplasty in the United States.
How dare they mention the surgeons' sex! Instead of saying AMAB & AFAB, or simply leaving out that info entirely. Also, how do they know those surgeons are the sex they said they are?
Marci Bowers said the youngest TIM he's done genital surgery on was 16.
Susie Green's son Jackie Green had his surgery on his 16th birthday.
In the USA, Trinity Neal got payment approval from Delaware Medicaid to have the surgery done when he was 16. At that time, the Metro reported this made Neal "one of the youngest" to have this surgery done in the USA. But due to Covid Neal's surgery was delayed. I think he was 17 like Jazz Jennings when he finally was operated on.
Very helpful. Thanks.
