I fully believe you know better than this, OM. But in case you don't, here is information from a few of the places that do this.
From OHSU:
"The OHSU Transgender Health Program serves transgender and gender-nonconforming people of all ages. We take a family-centered approach to helping children, teens and parents/caregivers find the services they need."

From the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago:
"We provide medical interventions including medications that lighten or stop periods, medications that block puberty, and hormone therapy. We also provide referrals for surgical interventions and other services"

From the Cosmetic Concierge (North Carolina):
"When considering gender confirming procedures for patients under the age of 18, we do require the consent of a parent or guardian along with the recommendation of a therapist. For patients 18 years of age and older, we use informed consent."
(So as long as the parent and "therapist" are okey dokey with the mutilation, yes they will!)
And specifically, about their testicle removal surgery: "Orchiectomy is performed for trans women who would like to avoid, or stop taking testosterone blockers such as Spironolactone, which can have significant long term side effects.....or who simply wish to improve the dysphoria associated with having testicles. Testosterone production stops immediately with removal of the testes, and accelerates the feminizing effects of estrogen therapy, inducing feminization in those who cannot use estrogen due to expense or medical contraindications."
