If I’m wrong about this, then it behooves the trans community to spread the message that genital reassignment surgery does not happen before 18. Get the message out so that lots of normal people understand that trans therapies are more about hormone therapy and not genital reassignment surgery. They HAVE been trying to get the message out. For years. In this very forum, even. For years. [Last post in this thread from 2005 ](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/transgendered-child-returns-to-school-a-boy/292892/35) [This thread from 2011](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/gender-disorder-and-hormone-blocking-therapy/598947) [This thread, from 2013](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/gender-identity-is-mental-illness/667011) [This thread, 2019](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/transgender-toddlers/841597) The trans community and its allies have been trying to get this message out not just for years but _for decades_. But trans people are a very small minority and the trans phobes greatly outnumber them, as well as having more access to communication outlets, money, and power. So, now YOU know. Are you going to help or not? --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/republicans-war-on-transgender-people-omnibus-thread/965609)._
