The prevailing rules regarding teenagers are based on the rulemakers' memories of being teenagers, and on the societal norm of what is considered "inappropriate" contact between minors.
I think that's a reasonable summary of why we
do. To address why we
should requires evaluating and perhaps reconsidering a couple of assumptions. One big assumption is that "gay" is not a thing. I think the implications of not making that assumption need to be looked at and separated from assumptions about gender identity before a transgender policies discussion can get very far.
