Gender reassignment surgery is a life saving medical procedure because it significantly reduces the risk of suicide.
Possibly true but children should not be able to make the decision to be mutilated if they aren't allowed to make the decision about sex. How is any child supposed to make an informed and adult decision about something so important with no experience?
My guess is the schools punish the kids for being picked on by normal children. It's zero tolerance policies that cause most of these problem. Bullies rum rampant because it's not safe to report them.
I doubt many lives are "saved" and just the knowledge they can have the operation at 18 would suffice for most. Otherwise the best solution is to drop the age of consent to 16. Most 16 year olds now are experienced anyway and with all the porn, Siri, and Hollywood kids grow up pretty fast now days.
