would you consider it child abuse

if say you had a very young child and that child said they feel like the opposite gender and you basically encourage them to transition with hormone blockers and so on at such a young age?

i think if a child feels very strongly about being who they feel they are for instance with gender that they can try living as said gender without permanently altering their body for the time being. Maybe im wrong but was just a thought since im watching a podcast with this as a discussion atm

I think it's wrong either way BUUUUUTTTTTT....

Anyone taking hormones, especially the big doses used in transitioning, before about age 20 to 25 have had huge and horrible side effect. To subject a child to that is abuse. Let them decide to do it when they have full ability to understand and agree to the possible dangers.

@EllaDisenchanted that's kind of my thoughts as well when you say when they have full ability to understand the possible dangers and that they can not change back
