So do we for children ban all ADHD medication, anxiety meds, gynoplastia medication in boys, pimple medication, the pill umm what else.... because you know, it changes the "existing" biology?
Ahhh, thank you. Appreciate you detailing (for us slow folks) that if the parent agrees with the "child" to change genders, then they are free to take whatever steps are necessary to do so.

Not necessarily, especially during puberty when there is vastly increased physical and mental development.

Are you able to have a rational discussion with me without turning into the fake simpleton persona? which i know you are not.
Id rather you answer my full question regarding the array of drugs i listed, than answering with a silly irrelevant comment about your toes.

Yes necessarily.
Hormone blockers safe for transgender kids says new study
SCIENCE!
Edit: By the way, your ninja edit source link isn't working.
For 15 years, clinics in the U.S. and Europe that treat transgender children have prescribed these drugs to stop their bodies from maturing. The idea behind the treatment is twofold: First, it buys patients time to make an informed decision on how and if they want to physically transition to the gender with which they identify. And second, if they do decide to go through with the transition, puberty-suppressing drugs make the process smoother. By staving off breast development, for instance, an adolescent undergoing a female-to-male transition wouldn't have to undergo chest reconstruction surgery. But the medication offers mental benefits as well: Teens who are already living as the gender they identify with won't be “outed” by their bodies, and they won't have to go through puberty for the wrong gender, which research has shown can cause depression and suicidal thoughts.
