Coincidence to see this thread. I saw an article recently that found a large number of transgender children end up switching back to their sex at birth at around 16-17 to simply identify as queer

I went on to speak to a good friend of mine who is gay and he has previously talked about his struggles in school and said he could easily have misconstrued his emotions during puberty as being transgender had he been aware of it.

We both agreed that children should not be given hormones which can lead to sterilization and irreversible changes.
