Long-term risks may include infertility and weight gain, along with strokes in trans women and high blood pressure in trans men, the guidelines say. —Breast removal for trans boys at age 15. Previous guidance suggested this could be done at least a year after hormones, around age 17, although a specific minimum age wasn’t listed. —Most genital surgeries starting at age 17, including womb and testicle removal, a year earlier than previous guidance. === [0] https://apnews.com/article/gender-transition-treatment-guidelines-9dbe54f670a3a0f5f2831c2bf14f9bbb https://apnews.com/article/gender-transition-treatment-guide...
