What if he began menstruating and couldn't handle it, what if he even became suicidal? Puberty is beginning earlier as time goes by. Wouldn't it be better for that child to have the choice to delay these things that would happen to his body while he is going through therapy and is maturing. If he decides at 15 that he's better off living as a woman he's able to do that, but if he knows that he is truly not mentally female, he has the choice to go through male puberty with the aid of testosterone. It's as simple as that.

Yes this all sounds fine on paper, but should we really be ****ing with nature like this on the offchance that a kid actually is a transgender and not just going through a phase? Also who is to say that being forced through puberty with pills or whatever should they change their mind, would even work?

I honestly don't mean to sound harsh though I know it comes across that way, but I fully believe you need to be an adult to make life changing decisions such as this.
