Both Jazz and Kim knew before 5 they were gurls.
I knew at 4.
A common misconception is the minor is coerced to transition, this may happen rarely, however, in the majority of cases, it does not.
I struggled for many years to be the boy I was assigned at birth.
FYI: Many times before I was 10, I thought about ending my life.
Many people assume Transgender minors are going through “A Phase,” when they tell “Grown-Ups” they are trans.
Yet, Cisgender children are not questioned about their Gender Identity or Seggsual Orientation.
I knew in 1970, I was a gurl, but unable to be truthful to the “Grown-Ups” around me for fear of physical abuse.
My reason for writing this is to educate about Trans Children.
By allowing a Trans minor to socially transition before puberty, will most likely allow them to decide if this is the right thing for them.
Hormone Blockers are not given until a child has been properly evaluated.
N. B. A minor can change their mind & stop anytime they wish, if they feel it’s not for them. Also Gender Reassignment Surgeries will not occur until the person (winner) turns 18. Hormones make a Trans person infertile.
Benefits of Blockers: MtF: Minimal facial hair, Voice will not get as deep hormones will work better. FtM: Honestly, I’m not sure, could be the opposite.
The below statement by Jazz Jennings is perfect:
I personally know of several people who knew they were “Different” but had no support, & ended their lives.
Everyone deserves to live their lives how they want.
This is my 2nd time living as a female, as the 1st time around, I had no support, & yes, I thought about ending my life many times.
I’m sick of how many people feel THEY can interfere in others lives. This has occured many times to me.
My best advice,
