    It may depend on their health insurance policy. I hear some don't cover for those ops.

    Transgender kids ""cannot"" get hormones or surgical procedures per existing medical guidelines, they can receive therapy for diagnosing and to help them through their needs, IF the child, the parents, the therapist, and the medical doctors, are ALL in agreement the child can receive puberty blockers which are reversible just by stopping them. 

    That is not retarded or bigoted, that is safeguarding children being children, while providing medical care for those who are in need.

    Believe it or not the main reason has nothing to do with bigotry, it has to do with legal liability. Surgeons believe it's a lot safer for them (legally) to operate only on people who are 18 or older. They are much less likely to face legal suits from parents and other family members that way.
