Why not just allow kids to be kids, and let them make their own choices and decisions when they are adults?

Nah. How do we know you didn't write it last night? Just kidding.
I kept a diary when I was 14. I still have it and it shows a lot of maturity and imo, very thoughtful dialogue about my aspirations for my future. But, when I read it now, I'm astounded at how and why I was thinking those thoughts.

Skepticism is a good thing. The paper is clearly old though.

When I read mine I am amazed at how together and logically minded my thoughts were. I had basically planned out my dreams from that age until well after how old I am now. I did not only know what I knew but I knew what I didn't know and asked myself questions to find ways to learn more so that I could achieve my dreams.
There of course are some childish things in it but I was more together than most of the adults in my life gave me credit for. My sister used to say "13 going on 30" lol
Have you ever slept with a man, only for him to find out that you are really trans, and then he freaked out? You know, like in the movies, Trainspotters for example.
Just curious.

It's called manners..... you should get some.
This question was highly inappropriate.
Taking testosterone or estrogen immediately after blocking puberty will make a teenage patient sterile. Spack, the endocrinologist at Children's Hospital in Boston, says that because the gonads do not mature before they are exposed to the hormones of the opposite sex, the gonads become too damaged to produce either viable eggs or viable sperm.
"This is one of the most controversial aspects of this. At what age can a young person fully understand the implications of doing something that will make fertility for them, by today's technology, virtually impossible?" he says.
Spack, however, is quick to point out that there is no risk of infertility from the hormone-blocking treatment alone. Infertility only comes when the hormone-blocking treatment is paired with Stage 2, the use of opposite-sex hormones. And so, Spack says, hormone blockers should really be seen simply as a treatment that gives families more time to think about what to do.

Oh come on..... I just speak my mind and ask what I wish to ask. Especially on the Internet, I don't really feel the need to put on some petty social filter.
I appreciate Jade star's answer. No doubt, one would have to have a thick skin to live that life anyway, so I doubt the question phased her much.
Stop being so sensitive......

Dear DiggerDogg,
In my opinion you didnt commit a much grave transgression to the norms of decorum here than the one JadeStar to transform this thread in his or her own autobiographical one.
This person went to far in details that are clearly off topic and also represent proselytism in favor of a cause that basically is supporting the message that under age people can take decisions that have extreme grave consequences against their own bodies from any point of view, including of course the legal one.
