16 is not an adult ...you are still a minor in the eyes of the law

, this is why here in the UK age of consent is a huge mess . I've never agreed with age of consent being 16 .
Age of consent should be 18 ,and technically to do grown up things in general it should be 18 & over .
And I know this will split opinion & be controversial, but you could even argue that 18 is still too young for gender reassignment. How many of us know what we wanted at 18 let alone 16 ??.
I still think the brain develops more after you reach 21 , and things could change. But I would prefer the age to be 18 than 16 .
