Debate: Feelings about plastic surgery

 I have to say, as a parent, I'm proud and impressed of my 13 year old. We just had a fantastic debate about plastic surgery, specifically breast enhancement. She was able to vocalize the double standard towards trans-female versus cis-female in this elective surgery. She was also able to describe her ability to support her friends but seek out reasons for the surgery and if they were for themselves or for external reasons. It was an amazing conversation, that I don't think many adults would be able to have, and certainly not so eloquently.
