Yes. Even if that's true 30% of less than 1% is an astronomically low number. And even still it's none of our business.
Your example about guns and other things are nonsense, since those things inherently involve harm in some way, whereas a boy deciding he wants to be a girl does not. It's really not a hard distinction to make. The only 'harm' in the situation are the perceived values of outsiders who disagree with the choice that people make for thier personal lives. Again. It's weird.
Of course 30% of 1% is low. But maybe 30% means the ideology itself has issues. Maybe these kids shouldn’t have been through this.
If a boy wants to be a girl and wants to get surgery and there’s no harm? Read below.

Attaching a neophallus to the head is not an established medical procedure, and pursuing such an unconventional surgery would come with significant risks and few, if any, benefits. Here are the potential risks and a hypothetical consideration of benefits:
### Risks
1. **Infection**: Any major surgery carries a risk of infection, which could be severe given the complexity and unconventional nature of the procedure.
2. **Necrosis**: The tissue might not receive adequate blood supply, leading to tissue death (necrosis).
3. **Poor Wound Healing**: The head and face are highly vascular areas, and improper healing could lead to significant complications and scarring.
4. **Nerve Damage**: There's a high risk of damaging nerves in the head, potentially leading to loss of sensation or motor function.
5. **Psychological Impact**: Undergoing such an extreme and unconventional surgery could lead to severe psychological distress and body image issues.
6. **Anesthesia Complications**: As with any surgery, there are risks associated with general anesthesia, including allergic reactions and respiratory issues.
7. **Functional Problems**: The neophallus would not have any functional benefits when attached to the head, potentially leading to complications without providing any practical use.
8. **Social and Interpersonal Challenges**: Such a modification could result in significant social stigma and difficulties in personal and professional interactions.
### Hypothetical Benefits
It's challenging to list benefits for a procedure that lacks medical justification and is not supported by medical practice. However, hypothetically:
1. **Personal Satisfaction**: If the modification aligns with an individual's unique aesthetic or personal identity goals, there might be a perceived benefit in terms of personal satisfaction.
2. **Expression of Identity**: For those deeply interested in body modification and self-expression, such a procedure could be seen as an extreme form of personal expression.
### Conclusion
The risks of attempting to attach a neophallus to the head far outweigh any potential benefits. Medical professionals adhere to ethical standards and established practices to ensure patient safety and well-being, making it highly unlikely that any reputable surgeon would perform such a procedure.
If you're interested in body modification, consider consulting with professionals who specialize in safe and ethical practices. They can help you explore alternative ways to achieve your aesthetic or identity goals without jeopardizing your health and well-being.
