Data shows a mind is not fully developed to make decisions like this. You wouldn't let your child pick what they eat for dinner, we certainly cannot allow children to make these decisions.

children should be allowed to make their own decisions when exploring their identity, because only they know themselves best. people(parents) have no opinion in deciding someone else's identity, and because these choices cannot actually harm anyone else, they should be allowed gender-affirming care if it brings them peace.

You can call them whatever they want, dress how they want, but under no means should they be allowed to do gender altering surgery before their mind has fully developed. If a child feels like they’re a race car driver, should we let them drive cars? If a child feels they’re Superman, should we let them go fight bad guys?
