Boston Children’s Hospital doesn’t want the public to know just how young their patients seeking “gender affirming” treatment are. Their application forms for genital surgery state that biological boys seeking “vaginoplasty” must be 17, biological girls seeking hysterectomy and phalloplasty 18, and girls seeking “chest reconstruction,” or double mastectomies of healthy breasts, must be 15, though there’s wiggle room if the request has parental approval.
