I would, for sure. My daughter was trans for a few years in high school. I supported her (him at the time) as much as I could. I bought breast binders and new jeans, boots and was as supportive of her choice as I could be. The only thing I put my foot down on was permanent body modification, as she was not capable of making that choice about her body yet and I didn’t feel confident in allowing her to make that choice. So yes, anecdotally and personally, I do not think we should be modifying child bodies before their intellects are mature enough to make life long decisions about themselves. That also includes circumcision.
Nice! That’s a reasonable stance, I think most people are probably where you’re at as well (I guess that’s redundant, it reflects in the poll after all)

You’re probably right but I just wanted to add some lived experience commentary to the narrative.
