A 2010 study of 121 transgender people found that 38 per cent realised they had gender variance by age 5. White matter differences could provide independent confirmation that such children might benefit from treatment to delay puberty.
this really scares me because i’ve been on the drugs they would use to delay puberty. they are fucking horrible. as of now i have do not want to change my gender, i’d rather just be me..but my experience on the drug was mortifying. idk how safe it is either. but then again these people would do anything to feel comfortable in their own skin, and if they could be that earlier then by all means yes. the same goes for people with Growth Hormone Deficiency’s , though i am all for being short..you shouldn’t have to change your body for other people, you should make your body one with your mind to become who you are, who you REALLY were born as. “because baby you were born this way”. I really identify with all sides to this, and all it concerns. i’m sure going through puberty and being the wrong gender is horrible, and taking the Drug that delays puberty to become the right gender and go through the changes once instead of both would be easier on anyone. even if the delineation is to provide time to mature mentally ( not to say they are making the wrong dieshion, they are born this way<3 ) and to understand who they are and will become, being happy in the end.
this being said, nothing is easy and one must find a way to be happy with oneself, at all costs.
i hope my opinion and reasonings were properly voiced.
