The Complexities of Allowing Transgender Children to Transition

Transgender Children and Transitioning After reading the required readings on transgender children, do you think that these children should be allowed to transition? Explain what you mean by transitioning. Transition involves a continuum of behaviors from change of name, change of gender identification, presenting in new identity, hormonal replacement or blockers, and change of external genitalia. In the past year, numerous states have passed legislation prohibiting parents from allowing their children to transition. these laws have made it a crime to use blockers, add hormones, and have genital reassignment surgery. Is you opinion, who should be making these decisions----children, parents, doctors, or the state. Additional laws address children seeing people in drag, discussing any LGTBQ=+ issues in school, and prohibiting transgender women from competing in women's sports.
