As a parent I believe that kids should conform to the gender they are born with UNTIL they are old enough and mature enough to understand fully what all they are getting into.   Some kids will mature and research these issues early on, other will not get their until a bit later.   medically or chemically interfering with the sexual maturity of a person who is not sure who he or she is just seems wrong.   As the research shows young kids who identify as tranasgender are more likely to be gay than actually transgensder and there is a big difference between the two!
