Ah, well if it does more harm than good I would say children probably shouldn't be allowed. Once you're 18 I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to though. I don't really know why you would want to, but that's not my place.

"Personally I see it as similar to an age of consent kind of issue. I'm not sure I trust 14 year olds to mess with their hormones."
This. This all the way to the moon and back again. This is a view held by a lot in the trans community, even though a lot of us love to see the young getting the opportunities we didn't, I and many do not think hormone therapy for young teens is a good idea at all. Treatment that young is jumping the gun massively, hell I'm 20, already living full time woman and I haven't even asked for a GIC appointment yet, even though I'm dead certain it's what I want. I want to make sure I'm up for the task before diving head first into the process, I'm settling in pretty fine, both from my point of view and my friend's points of view.

I've seen people start hormone treatment in their late 20s, early 30s and it turning out perfectly fine, so I don't think it's a case of "get in early if you want it to work"... It still needs a lot of looking into though I agree, but as for tax dollars, then I'd say maybe in certain cases where the person was legit suicidal and/or in a case where they need it to function as a person... However if they're more of a "I think I'll get hormone treatment" sorta way, where it's more of a convenience to them, then they should have to privately fund it imo
