I know in the US that bottom surgery generally doesn't happen under 18, and the same is true in Canada, no? It's always just for show, although I guess we can't assume anyone in the government actually pays attention to statistics.

Gender affirming surgeries are rare for teenagers and even if they do happen it's for 16 year olds and up with strong cases.
