What age do you think is appropiate to Transition?
I am thrilled to see some transitioning as young as six..do you feel this is acceptable?
Do you feel it should be 18? Younger - Older?
What age do you feel is appropiate...
Curious...

I think that if a child of any age is having transgender thoughts and feelings that the child should be allowed to see a psychologist or gender specialist. I believe that pressuring a transgender or even gay/lesbian child to be what they aren't is damaging to their development. Now whether there are physical dangers of providing children hormonal medications or surgeries, that may be a different issue but they should be able to express themselves.

I thoroughly agree with you :)

It depends on the child. That's the whole point of using hormone blockers to forestall puberty. :geek:
Good parenting involves actually knowing your child. Choosing an arbitrary age is just being lazy.

Some 6 month old male babies make girly gurgling sounds. This is a clear indication of GID and hormonal therapy should be commenced immediately.

Anyway...you all deal with these issues as a fact of life, so I'll just shut up and read the responses, but Kitty's response seemed to be spot on.
