: : Now my questions are.
: : 1. Would you even humor your kid in this idea to change sexes?
: You say humor, I say acknoWledege who my child is.
you are 100% right as far as acknowledging who my child is... however at 11 did you know who you were? Honestly no one does...
: : 2. If you humored the idea would you go as far as allowing hormone thereapy?
: Again with the humored.. that is very condescending. But no I think I would let nature take its course.
but you as far as using the word humor let me break out my thesaurus here... how are these (afford, aid, arrange, assist, avail, benefit, bow, comfort, convenience, defer, favor, furnish, gratify, help, indulge, oblige, pamper, please, provide, serve, settle, submit, suit, supply, support, sustain, yield) pick one and substitute it... it wasn't meant to be condescending... it was just the first word out
: : 3. How old do you think a person is capable of making the transgender decision?
: It would have to be post puberty.
