Exactly. If freedom and liberty are supposedly your watchwords--why are you unwilling to give people the freedom and liberty to live their lives because YOU don't approve of what they want. It isn't and shouldn't be up to you but to the person whose life it is.

I was thinking of the minors and surgery issue.

Understood--the thing is that it isn't actually easy to get that surgery. You don't walk into a clinic and get it done.

It is also hideously expensive, like most medical procedures in this country.

Doctors aren't chomping at the bit to do these surgeries and aren't usually (AFAIK) pressuring people into them unlike, say, a lot of various plastic surgeries or hair transplants or surgical eye correction.
