These kids are having hormones before they enter puberty so they go through puberty of the opposite sex, whats you opinion on children making these choices, do you think they should be able to make these decisions as children or do you think they should be forced to wait until they are in thier 20's or so because once these hormones are given, these kide are made irreversibly infertile?

I believe that parents should be making these kinds of decisions for their children until their children are old enough to decide for themselves. If my child told he/she didn't want to be part of that gender anymore at such a young age, I would think about, but I would never consent to such drastic change while I would still have control over his/her decisions. Besides, that child wouldn't live a child's live. He/she would age then minute the transition is complete, and I would be sad.

They're too young to be making such adult decisions. Children change their minds frequently, and grow to regret things. If it is something they're serious about, an adult procedure, they should wait until they have an adult mind! It's a joke if you ask me...

I watched the beginning of that, weird.

How can you know that when you are 8 years old?

For f***s sake, away out and play or something!

What happens if they feel that made a mistake after their gender change.

I did not view the link but, I think 8 is far to young to be making an irreversible decision in the department!!

there was this boy in the programme I just watched, he was 8 and living as a girl, he was having to make the choices of going through puberty as a boy and let nature take its course, or have a lifetime of hormone shots to keep him as a female and to obviously grow breasts and prevent the facial hair growth, I'm sure it said that these kids are even to young to have eggs and sperm frozen should they decide later that they want children

...and next week, they'll want to be a transformer...

I think this world is just going crazy, children can't even enjoy childhood, they are already thinking about adult things......maybe it is some stupid school teasing that is getting into their gullible minds

They see too much..crazy stuff on the internet and on TV nowadays..the poor thing can't even ties his shoelace yet..
