What is the minimum age to be prescribed estrogen for a sex change?


please, no negative comments

In most countries, including the US, and the UK (although this may be changing, here), you must be 18 or over to be prescribed oestrogen.
It IS possible, in some places, to be prescribed GnRH inhibitors, or androgen-blockers, at 16; these will not have any significant feminising effect, but they will arrest any masculinisation that hasn't already occurred.

18??

in the us 18

I believe you have to be at least 18 years of age. The average age is 29 for people undergoing sexual reassignment surgery. You have to undergo an extensive amount of mental evaluations and therapy before they'll start the process. I believe the age for this should be lowered since most individuals start feeling they are the wrong gender at a very young age. In my opinion, if the child was set on it, and was fully aware of what was going on, they should get reassignment surgery before they hit puberty with all the wrong hormones. But in today's society, that will never happen. So I guess you'd have to be at least 18.
