Exactly.  My kid is 17 and trans male, and takes testosterone.  That was after 3 doctors over 2 years identifying Gender Dysphoria and Body Dysmorphia.   First of those two years Was depression and suicidal thoughts at not fitting in and not knowing why.   He was not convinced by an "activist doctor" and not an idea that came from us (parents) (my wife and I wrapping our heads around gender and gender expression being a spectrum, and not M or F and nothing else took nearly a year by itself) Not at all a "I saw this thing on TikTok and I wanna be a boy".   

Will he get breast reduction surgery after 18? Maybe, maybe not.  He's getting more comfortable in his skin as he's started getting facial hair. So he may not need it nor want it.

Trans health care saves lives.
Calling parents of trans kids child abusers is misinformed and evil.
My son is alive, because he is transitioning from F to M.

You're a good parent. I appreciate your honesty in your process, but more so I appreciate your support for your son.
