Ok so the question I replied to was essentially is it safe for kids under 18. The answer is yes.

In terms of consent. Kids cannot just consent and then be given HRT. Parents of kids cannot just consent and then have their kids put on HRT. Doctors cannot just consent and put kids on HRT.

There is a process in which kids are thoroughly assessed and then with parental consent put on puberty blockers for 1-2 years maximum. Puberty blockers are not HRT to be clear. They are also safe and the kids are monitored by doctors and have regular check ups and psychiatric evaluations. If the children persist by the end of the 1-2 year observation period they are then, with consent from all parties put onto HRT.

The whole process is very thorough to ensure that kids who aren’t actually trans don’t get put on HRT. Consent by the parents, kids and doctors is required throughout the entire process.

This isn’t simple self report and get medicated it is a very thorough process.

Please do a basic google search. This info isn’t difficult to find.
