Hormone replacement therapy and surgery only go far. The best way to deal with undesired traits is to not develop them in the first place.
If you're a random dolt plucked from the street you could be forgiven for not understanding this, but if you're a leader whose job it is to make educated decisions on behalf of the electorate, screwing it up this bad requires either willful malice or willful ignorance.

I'd agree if it wasn't pre teens making these decisions. I'm not super confident in the life experience of a child to make this type of decision.
Would you be comfortable letting 12 year olds marry whoever they wanted if they were convinced it was the right decision for them?
