For the sake of argument, lets assume the article is not lying. You'd rather leave the kid in danger then?

The article I said I haven't read?
Kids in danger; different situation. Kids who Doc decided A or B on their behalf (perhaps incorrectly) at birth; different situation. Kids prior to reaching puberty who are confused about preferences and/or gender identity in general were more to my point as not being capable to making those decisions for themselves. That is not to say they can not live as whatever gender they feel most comfy with; just that IMo they should not make life decisions concerning changing how they were born until they are adults and udnerstand the ramifications of those decisions.
