If you guys want this thread to stay open, take it to pms and stay on topic.

I don`t think it`s too young, but obviously it depends on the individual. At this point, they can tell if it`s merely a stage or if it is an honest condition.
And if it is a true condition, then waiting will do far far more harm than not waiting. The changes brought about in the body at puberty cannot be reversed.

The discussion of this sort of thing always interests me, because it`s something I have a feeling I`ll have to deal with in the future. My son - while genetically male - was exposed to virtually no male hormones during gestation and didn`t develop male sexual organs. His body is not producing male hormones to a level anywhere close to normal. We have been told that there is a pretty fair chance that he will not be a "boy" - and already he`s literally worlds away in behavior. What that means in the long run, well, we won`t know until we get there. But if he is certain he is a girl for pretty much his whole life, I would have no qualms about letting him have a sex change at 16.
