: 1. Would you even humor your kid in this idea to change sexes?
I find it really hard to imagine myself in this scenario, but I'd like to think I would be supportive of whatever would make my kid happy.
: 2. If you humored the idea would you go as far as allowing hormone thereapy?
This I have to say no, I wouldn't do. They can express themselves physically and wear whatever clothes and play with whatever toys they want, but they can't go for a medical procedure until they're an adult.
: 3. How old do you think a person is capable of making the transgender decision?
I think you should be at least 18 before you think of getting surgery. Then again I'm not really for any kind of cosmetic surgery for underage people. 18-year-olds aren't really even mature enough to make that kind of permanent decision, but you should at least be an adult.
