You seem to have a lot of presumptions about what goes on in their head, but only they can know that. Yes, some people function more on emotion than logic, but that's a pretty normal spectrum and we can't chastise people who function more on emotion than reason, and anyway, you are only presuming that is the case. They could be perfectly sound and logical internally and still decide they want to make the change. Either way its their choice, like I said. Their body. Maybe they'll be happy with the results, maybe they'll regret it forever. There are stories of both online.

I guess I draw the line in the sand a lot further back than most people do when it comes to stuff like that. If they're not completely deranged and unable to think and function normally I say their body belongs to them and they can do with it as they will.
