At least when it is performed as part of a tribal ritual in another country, but it's totally fine if we do it to our young people because they have a mental problem and can't accept reality.

"Recent attempts to test the theory that gender-affirming surgeries are associated with better mental health outcomes among transgender and gender diverse people have yielded mixed results. A 2010 meta-analysis of 1,833 transgender and gender diverse people across 28 studies concluded that there was “low-quality evidence” that gender-affirming surgery would result in positive mental health outcomes. Although a 2019 study of 2,679 transgender people demonstrated an association between gender-affirming surgery and reduced utilization of mental health treatment, a correction to the study issued in 2020 reported no mental health benefits after comparison with a control group of transgender people who had not yet undergone surgery."

Schizophrenia, per the Mayo Clinic, is a serious mental disorder in which people interpret reality abnormally. Schizophrenia may result in some combination of hallucinations, delusions, and extremely disordered thinking and behavior that impairs daily functioning, and can be disabling. If we apply the same idea to them as you do gender dysphoria we would all have to just know that a person is schizophrenic and act like whatever hallucinations and delusions are completely normal and "play along." Do you really think this is the best course of treatment?
