Who cares what the parents have to say? The state has removed their voice in such matters where I live.

Here a minor can seek out complete transition surgery, hormones, top surgery, bottom surgery, & in most cases significant cosmetic surgery, and the state (as well as private) insurance is required to cover it, and the medical agents are not allowed to notify the parents. It doesn't matter whether parents are pushing it. It only matters that a teen, already troubled adjusting to the changes in their body during that time of their life, is presented with this as a "risk-free" option by any authority voice in their environment and can then seek out a medical professional who will prescribe and perform it.

(legality of above is per Oregon ORS 731 as revised by HB 2002-2023 which is currently sitting on the governor's desk)
