I don't agree with putting it in the media, but sounds like the parents have a good head on their shoulders.

What's worse, supporting the child to explore who they are? or pushing bigotry and shame on them?


Let the child explore, and support them in their decisions with guidence.

Compared to the shame and bigotry aimed at LGBT kids now, and the resulting suicide rates among LGBT youth, i say good for these parents. They may have saved this child's life.

Obviously the way our society has treated LGBT kids in the past is not working, so why not try something new, like love and acceptance.

That being said, i would not support any surgery or pills until he/she is at least 22. I'm appalled at any parents that get cosmetic surgery for children. Seeing girls getting breast implants as an 18th birthday present repulses me. Surgery and medical intervention should only happen when they are fully grown adults imo. No one's brain is fully developed by the age of 18.

Most research shows that the human brain isn't fully developed until the age of 22.
