But I don't think children, and teens(At least early teens) should be allowed to go through surgery, as in some cases, they're just going through a phase. I don't support those parents who have their 9 year old children's genitals removed. Also parents shouldn't pressure their children to change their sexuality/gender. Which goes both ways.
Just to put this into perspective. Transgendered children aren't just going through a phase if they're living full time in their desired gender. You have to be extremely driven to put yourself through such an ordeal. Whatever worries anyone might have about being unduly influenced by a lesbian feminist parent are ridiculous when you think what the child has to go through. For example, the following is not in the least bit surprising.
Spat at, kicked, threatened and shot: The five-month bullying ordeal of an 11-year-old transgender girl
Quote:She claims vile bullies have:
*Thrown water over her
*Spat at her
*Kicked her to the floor
*Told her she would be taken to the school’s gym and beaten up ‘because she’s a boy, not a girl’
*Abused her and called her names on a daily basis
In another previous incident before the shooting, the girl’s mother said cruel classmates wrote ‘tranny’ and ‘freak’ and drew lewd images of penises on the cover of one of her exercise books.
The metal ball bearing - fired at the girl as she waited to go into a classroom at 9.20am last Wednesday by a boy who is also in Year 7 - hit her in the shoulder.
So to people who say that this girl should wait until she's 18, consider this. How much is she being harmed by waiting? She's obviously sincere in her own independent choice. She wouldn't be doing this just to impress her parents. She's being psychologically damaged for life by an abusive childhood, yet this is still preferential to her than living in her born gender. Also consider that over 40% transsexuals attempt suicide. Tell me how it is helping this girl by making her wait.

On the other hand, many other transsexuals know for sure from a very early age and aren't indecisive or crazy. Transitioning is tough enough. You don't need to make it tougher to weed out those who are unsure.
