I disagree. Parents make irrational decisions because of emotion and stress. Children should absolutely not be transitioning anything until they’re 18. The risks are too great, and the parents are too easily manipulated by society.

I think even 18 year old are too young. When I was 18 I would do all the stupid things. I would not trust this person at all. I think something around 25 or so is a good age. Not just this subject but in general.

If a person is old enough to die for their country (i.e. enlist as a soldier), they’re old enough to make their own decisions about their sexuality.

18 year olds are dumb and easily manipulated, which is precisely why they are recruited to join the army.

Someone's ability to join the army and be used as cannon fodder is hardly proof of their ability to think intelligently for themselves.
