I do believe that the surgeries require a higher age, puberty blockers are given at 13 or so the surgeries wait until 18 to the best of knowledge.
There is no such thing as adulthood, it's a legal fiction we create to make things easier. We could define it as any number we want, adulthood could start at 25 if we as a society wanted it to. We use a multi-tiered approach (in most societies, anyway) and there's no way to say that one number is better than another (within reason, obviously a 6 year old is not an adult and a 50 year old has been an adult for a long time, 18 seems very reasonable and most of the world seems to agree) so yes, I would imply that the legal definition for age of consent is fine. Morality is a spook and I don't care about it at all. I only care about freedom.
