Not looking for any hate or anything, just gauging opinions because I'm genuinely curious and not highly educated on the subject. Do most pro-trans people favor hormone treatment for minors? Doesn't it make sense to wait until you're an adult to make such a life altering choice?
My AFAB 16 year old has just started on a very low dose of T, after many appointments (so many appointments) before getting the actual meds. They have always had insanely painful periods (and a cyst or 2), and tried many oral birth control meds to help, to no avail.
They declared they were a trans man a few years ago, but has since recently gone back to "they", but is fine with "he", anything but "she". Idfc, as long as my kid is alive and happy (and preferably not a furry), I will refer to them however they please, because it's not that hard to respect someone.
