If true, possible rafts of lawsuits and mountains of taxpayer compensation in the future if youths are encouraged to do this and then change their minds.
Oh, yes. I suggest you look up an organisation called 'Mermaids', which is run by a woman who put her teenage son on female hormones illegally and then flew him to Thailand to have him castrated when he was just 16 (he couldn't have that done here as it was illegal).
The Thais were so disgusted when they found out about this that they immediately changed the law.

This woman's organisation is allowed into our schools to encourage this sort of thing among other young children. She is also regularly invited onto television discussions as if she were some sort of expert - as opposed to a dangerous lunatic who should be allowed nowhere near children.
