Gender affirming care. The vast majority of which is counseling and therapy supporting social transition, a minority of which is hormone therapies, and a fraction of that is surgeries which are very rare for people under 18, and the most common of those are things like facial surgeries, and then top surgeries and a tiny almost vanishing fraction of that is bottom surgeries. Using the word "mutilating" is just being a deliberately provocative with the most grotesque and inflammatory terminology you can come up with, which of course is exactly why you use those words.
If you think every celebrity who has had a boob job - no, better example, every cancer survivor who had a mastectomy or hysterectomy is "mutilating and castrating" themselves well good luck with that.
