Meh, I don’t believe they fully understand at that age. My daughter thought she was a boy when she was around 10, she is now 18 and turned out she was just gay. Had we gone the route of medical change it would have been the wrong choice for her.
Jake 3, Made me realize at a young age that I love vehicles in games but not necessarily driving games themselves. Especially if they let you upgrade/customize them.
I bought a cheap plumbers torch a little over two years ago and it’s been the most useful thing I’ve purchased. Lights my wood stove quickly and without hassle, lights my offset smoker, lights my firepit and any other fires quickly and effortlessly. It’s such a small thing but makes a huge difference in everyday life for me and my family. 4th of July is better without needing to constantly click a lighter that may or may not blow out from a gust of wind.
I don’t think the long term effects of puberty blocking are fully understood and in my opinion not worth the risk.
But I’m also adverse to medication in general so I’m biased on that.
I didn’t stop her from exploring either as much as other want to believe it. She did do therapy at one point and we fully supported her in all she did. I just stand firm on any life altering decisions until they are older. That’s like letting your child get a tattoo or drive a car or smoke or anything you would not let them do.
Also I appreciate the civil response.
