Should people under the age of 18 years old be able to receive gender-transition treatments?

No, children cannot give consent and not allowed to make irreversible life decisions

Your brain stops developing around 25 years old, therefor people aged 25 and below shouldn't be able to make decisions for themselves, right? No. That's nonsensical. Just because an arbitrary number of 18 is slapped on "adulthood" doesn't make someone able to make decisions any better than someone one day from turning 18. It should always be taken on a case by case basis with medical professionals.
