Honestly curious and hoping for serious replies:

What do trans people think about the possibility of a child or preteen “getting it wrong”? Ie, maturing into an adult that realizes/decides that they actually want to live out their life as initially assigned at birth?

Note: I know so little that I’m actually not sure if this question itself is massively offensive or not…if so, sincere apologies. Just want to learn more about this and stop imagining things!

Unlike what some people may have told you children aren’t allowed surgery, and are rarely allowed hrt. Sometimes they get puberty blockers, which is somewhat controversial, but is also used in cis children with precocious puberty. It’s been demonstrated that even small children have formed a gender identity (can’t remember the exact age but it’s around 5 or 6 years old), and that this doesn’t really change. It is possible for someone to not know their gender identity, though I think this is more common with non-binary people and those who aren’t taught about gender identity.
Thank you! Much appreciated.
