My landlady has a grandson who is 16 and has started hormones as he is going to become a woman.
I know someone who is also doing that. They are undergoing reassignment surgery tho which is different i think
I respect a person for doing so but at 16 is your brain really developed to know that this is what you want?
i respect that as well, it cannot be easy and i am sure intense physcotherapy is evaluated first 
I think a lot of psych therapy would be needed.  It is a big change.  But my landlady is very liberal and fully supports him.
Thats great to have support. Is he trying to change his gender as far as living as a woman before the medical procedures
Yes and there are three other students at his school that are doing the same, well four.  One is going from female to male.
i was researching information on gender dysphoria, which is a medical diagnosis, i wonder if the 16 has been evaluated for that, being so young, ya know
