I think they are in some type of therapy too, there is probably a ton of protocol and Dr's aren't writing prescriptions & doing surgeries left & right just because some random kids say that's what they want. FFS!

But the mind of a child greatly changes from childhood to adulthood and to allow them to medically alter their mental and physical state with drugs that the long term side effects aren't even known is fucking child abuse. They aren't old enough to grasp the long term consequences of those decisions. What in the fuck is wrong with you, seriously?
Given your interest in reading about many things medical related, I'm kinda surprised you haven't read about this subject. I was going to tell you to go read about it and then come back & enlighten us, but I did a quick search first, I didn't want to ask you to do something I wasn't prepared to do myself...anyway, the rules governing this are across the board. The only thing all places agree upon is no gender reassignment surgery until 18 or older.
Surgery no, but puberty blockers and hormones yes. Now go look up the side effects of puberty blockers and unnecessary hormone treatment. It doesn't take an endocrinologist to know that administering these drugs to a child who is still developing can have devastating effects on their mental and physical well-being. And the affects on their long term mental health, bone density and fertility are still unknown.
