Some of the trans people that I'm friends with don't want to fully transition (for various reasons). What might sound great to a 15 year old may not sound good for a 25 year old. Or it might still continue to sound good 10 years later, and a decade has been lost living with the wrong biological sex.

I read a paper on reassignment surgery for kids age 9ish. I guess doctors think it is easier at a young age. I think that is horrible, because of the implication. Like if parents wanted a boy but had girls, oh we will just take her to the doctors at age 9 and then we will have a boy. I am not sure what the procedures are in place, but I just think that is way too you.
