It's a good decision IMO. Some would argue voluntary surgery is okay but it's just a giant can of worms.

Another giant can of worms is deciding which individuals get to choose what to do with their bodies.

You already can't have a doctor amputate your healthy limb.

If only a doctor would amputate your head, so you could stop filling the world with your ignorance.

What I'm saying is that you already can't have a medical professional do whatever you want on your body. Can't even sell your organs!

Don't bother to explain they only get what they want to get, I just proved this point here in the comments

There have been cases of individuals with BID (body integrity disphoria) that have had perfectly healthy limbs removed. Gender reassignment surgeries are also a replacement, not just an amputation. At the end of the surgery, the patient will still have perfectly working genitals, just ones that don't damage their mental health.

Perfectly working genitals? You can't be serious??
