The article’s title is actually a question, unlike how the URL makes it seem.
Oregon Allows 15-Year-Olds To Have Sex Reassignment Surgery Even Without Parental Consent?
And according to the article, it can be considered a “No, but-”.
The Oregon Health Authority included in its policy statement information pertaining to the age of consent for the said law: “Patients should be able to demonstrate the capacity to make a fully informed decision and to give consent to treatment, regardless of age. However, nothing in Oregon law requires a health care provider to provide medical services to a minor or safeguard the confidentiality of a minor.

What the article is saying is that for a 15 years old to be allowed the care without parent consent is for their parents to be dangerous about knowing the medical need of their son/daughter. Also needs consent of multiple people.
No doctor will do this type of operations on their own, as nobody wants to risk a legal battle that will put them starving in the streets.
Also, this is for state-funded medical insurance. So the 15 years old must also need to conform to the given insurance contract or in general its requirements. Otherwise it would be an operation that costs a sum of money no 15 years olds have direct access to.

The thing that should not happen is parents denying healthcare to their children. Because no child and teen, even better no human, has to hide themself, run away and live in fear.
The resources to make an informed decision from the sides of both the parents and their children and also for adults are available.
