Quality of Life!
Read that carefully. “Makes it easier to care for Ashley” .. so who is this for? There is no proof it will improve Ashley’s quality of life. How can we say that? That makes no sense since she is undiagnosed and we have no idea what her life will be like in the future. This is a claim of the unknown.
To mutilate this girl to make it easier to care for her … is something that we don’t do to our animals, let alone our children. If this is the reason, then it must be understood. “… easier to care for …” means that all these surgeries and treatments make it easier FOR THE CARETAKER. His words, not mine.

We do such things to our animals. Spaying & neutering one’s pets said to be a good thing. Some of us remove the first part of our cat’s front paws. Things are done to farm animals as well, about which I know nothing.
Okay, imagine you are Ashley’s caretaker, her family. It will save you and Ashley the stress of going through all the womanhood process in the body of a woman with an infant mind. How would an infant girl react to menstrual cramps without knowing what they are? She will cry, she will panic. If she has the mind of an infant, how do you explain her what it is? Will she understand you? no. she’s going to cry, she’s going to have mental fits, panic, not understanding what her body is going through and why she’s bleeding.
Another fact: you may try to teach her to walk, but how, with an infant mind, can she perform it with always being at the same mental stage of crawling? Maybe its possible, I don’t know, but the reason they altered her growth spurt is to be able to lift her easily. So yes, some surgeries were performed to ease the caretaker in taking care of Ashley, but not once the surgery performed wasn’t for her benefit.
And a mastectomy was performed not for the caretakers’ benefit, but to easy unnecessary discomfort to the girl.
