Would you treat somebody that has anorexia, by prescribing liposuction?
Body modification should be the very last move not the first, and absolutely not even considered on anyone under 18.
I’m not totally against this procedure being available on the NHS, but it should be as rare as hens teeth.

It’s certainly a strange one how it’s become so prevalent over the last 20 or so years, and further bizarre that seemingly interested parties, groups promoting transition and advocacy groups in favour are considered impartial advisers to someone mentally vulnerable and further arbiter of treatments. There’s also - in respect of public funding - a legitimate question of the extent to which some cases could be considered lifestyle choices.
