This is true, but also, going through the wrong puberty and being forced to live as the wrong gender afterwards is also an inherently traumatic experience, even if it would be possible to fully reverse the mutilation caused by the first puberty.


Is mutilation the right term here? Mutilation is altering the physical appearance. Puberty by default follows what the body was designed to do, it seems confusing calling it mutilation: I couldn't tell if surgery is involved or this is just talking about the natural process of going through puberty
