The hospital never offered surgery to "children". Chaya Raichik aka "Libs of TikTok" lied.

Depends on your definition of "children".
A minor is under eighteen years of age. Don’t like it then petition your legislators to increase the age.
I'm glad we agree then - they were offering the treatments to 17 year olds until "Libs of Tik Tok" publicised it.
Libs of TikTok is going to get more people killed by stirring up the latent hate among transphobes. This is the same type of stunt that lead to abortion clinic bombings. Don’t spread their hate. If you got a criticism you would be wise to find a source that isn’t so despicable.

No, she's going to get policy changed so the default treatment for troubled teens isn't life-changing, irreversible surgery.
Oh boy you’ve drank all the koolaid. That is not the default treatment, you have no idea what you’re talking about and you’re letting propagandists wind you up.
