It started out as a discussion of anti-trans laws and quickly took a sharp turn into the ease of convincing doctors to start hormone therapy and actual SRS.

It was Leslie Stahl’s contention that doctors and therapists are afraid to withhold treatment due to aggressive LGBTQ community backlash.
She spoke of people having very little counseling before taking “irreversible” action.
Leslie Stahl did a bit of clean-up on Overtime. https://www.cbsnews.com/video/lesley-stahl-on-her-60-minutes...
Is this original reporting remotely accurate? Has it become too easy?
