There is a TON of research cited in this very thread, iirc. I think you should read it all before you make sweeping generalizations like that, BQ. You are better than this. The high risk of suicide among transgender people whose transitioning was postponed alone should be enough to make you withdraw your above statements and think a little more critically about them.
I'm worried they are putting that kid in pysichal danger from crazy people. Its their job as parents to protect their children, yes it maybe at the expense of her happiness temporarily but at least wait until she can defend herself. It's not like I'm say transition when she's 50, but fifteen or sixteen (maybe even fourteen since a good chunk of males don't start puberty until then) shouldn't be that long of a wait for an eleven year old.
