Early Medical Treatment for Transsexual People
Gender discomfort is, albeit rarely, detected in children
aged as young as three or four. Usually, transsexual
people have memories of gender confusion that date
back to their early childhood. They often regret that they
were not treated at the onset of puberty, when they
experienced intense stress as their bodies began to
develop in conflict with their core gender identities.
During puberty, young transsexual men develop breasts,
start to menstruate and sometimes become frustrated by
their small stature. Young transsexual women's voices
deepen, they grow beards and prominent adam's apples,
experience erections and become taller than most other
women.
