What age do you think is appropiate to Transition?

[MrsKellyPierce]

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.

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.

I realize it was a serious question Kelly, but that was pretty funny. I don't think think the dude meant anything hurtful...

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.
