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.
Please read the entire thread and the things cited here, then do some of your own research. You are clearly uninformed about this issue and you need to read about it before you start throwing your opinion around as if you know what you're talking about.
Please don't think I'm trying to be mean; I'm really not. I just think it's important for you to understand what it is you're discussing.
