Transgender kids OK for hormones at 14, surgery at 15 | New York Post

A leading transgender health group has lowered its recommended minimum age for kids to get medical help transitioning — saying hormone therapy can start at 14 and some surgeries at 15.

The World Professional Association for Transgender Health said it was changing its advice on when teens should be able to get treatment because it is unethical and harmful to withhold early treatment.

The changing advice comes as many experts — including a former board member of the group — fear irreversible treatments are already being given to kids who would otherwise outgrow their gender questioning.
