[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 13 year old has gone from non-binary to saying that they are a trans boy.  And are asking for hormone therapy. I have my doubts that they will identify that way forever and gave a hard no on the hormones at this age.

I tell them that I love them no matter what and I believe that at that moment they feel like a boy but that I see gender identity as a spectrum and that they are still on their journey to see where on the spectrum they are as they reach adulthood.  Where they are on the spectrum may well change through adulthood as well.  
I try to use they/them pronouns, validate that they are gender non-conforming and they have a binder that they sometimes wear to school.  [/quote]

Hormone therapy or puberty blockers?  They are two different things.  You can still take puberty blockers even after puberty has started. [/quote]

The binder is more like a compression undershirt.  I bought it a size bigger than they suggested on the site so it is more like a minimizer than a binder.  https://www.gc2b.co/collections/gc2b-all-nude/products/nude-no-4-tank
I would say it is about as tight as a good sports bra.

They are saying hormone therapy.  
The ship has sailed on the boobs...they are easily a D or DD.

DD sucks even for someone who wants breasts. If still growing, very likely they’ll be able to get insurance for a reduction at least in a couple more years.  It could save back problems in their future.

Anyway, puberty blockers will halt continued puberty.  It’s just an option.  It won’t make them a man, it just puts a pause on puberty where they are until they are older and gives them some time to think, age.[/quote]
