Trans people go through long processes and professional oversight to arrive at medical intervention in professional settings. Bottom surgery is not taken lightly in the same way that later in life circumcision should be and should be consented to. Ear piercings are largely inconsequential although I strongly disagree with piercing unwilling children.
