It's not OK for adults either. I know some people are on the "adults should be able to do with their own bodies" tour, and that's true to some extent. This in no way requires doctors to be complicit in what you do.
You're free to hack off your hand, because you are transabled, but you're not free to demand that a doctor do that for you.
I see it as those freaks who get insane piercings, facial tattoos, forked tongues, etc. none of it is actually necessary, but if they're going to do it better to have someone who knows how to get it done without killing them.

demand? with government insurance? no.
Request and pay for out of pocket? Sure why not.

Ban those too. If people kill themselves trying to mutilate their own bodies it may deter others.
Not just that, but criminalize crossdressing with the intention to deceive others. Any non comedic attempt even.
