| | Seeking a Gendered Adolescence |
| | Gender reassignment treatment is no longer a medical practice in its infancy. | | | Nevertheless, the social stigmas associated with gender reassignment, and the resulting concerns of clinicians who provide it, are still significant. | | | While some clinicians may still attempt to 'cure' patients with gender dysphoria, this approach is becoming outmoded. |

| | That said, gender reassignment is a very long process that doesn't begin with heavy cosmetic surgery on the genitals. | | | Perhaps therapy sessions as I mentioned above, watching how the child acts in groups of others their own age etcetera would probably be the best way to go about things. | | | Transgendered people typically have the feeling that they were a member of one gender from birth but were given the physical body of the wrong sex. |

| | This period of therapy, during which the individual is expected to live and work in their new sex, is often referred to as the "real life test". | | | At the point of change of gender, it is common for transsexual people to take a short time off work and return in their new name and gender role. | | | If an individual has not yet changed social gender, they can be expected to start to do so at around this stage, though they may maintain their usual gender role at work for rather longer. |

| | I don't think gender reassignment can be considered while the body is still in growth phase, but I'm no doctor, so it's speculation on my part. | | | I suppose he could end up happy as a butch lesbian, and then you could consider his wanting to be a boy bowing to traditional roles, but if the issue is peer pressure not to gender bend, then we should question all transgenders, whatever their age when they make that decision. | | | So from a medical perspective, it would probably be better to start the therapy earlier; it's just the concern that this is only a phase, that eventually M. will want to be female. |
