Children aren’t developed enough to make decisions on their own they can’t vote, have sex, get a tattoo, or many other things. Don’t get me wrong children can be smarter then we give them credit for.
But children at that age just haven’t matured enough. Children tend to absorb their surroundings and that’s what they know.

Yes, and that's why there's a legal age of consent...
No sex, alcohol, tobacco, drugs or gender reassignments until they reach the age of consent...

I believe Children can have problems making decisions.
I agree MOST OF THE TIME THEY SHOULDN'T , NOT can't decide but devils advocate:
PREMISE: Either a minor CAN consent or they CANNOT consent REGARDLESS of the health benefits of the procedure under discussion because the issue is having the full faculties to make a life altering decision. Presuming the premise is correct I submit:
Circumcision, braces, cosmetic surgery, tattoos, cochlear implants, gene therapy, insulin pump, Lasik surgery, birth defects, etc.
Who is to say the minor wants/doesn't want these things and that parents are the arbiters?
Here’s why this is stupid: gender disphoria usually pops up around puberty. And then the process for teens to get just hormone pills- cuz that’s all they can get- is immense and private with their doctor or parent.
My use this to learn to butt out of doctor patient parent confidence.
Childern can't decide because they constantly change their minds and don't know what's best for them
