No one should perform SRS on pre-pubescent children. Even if we ignore the informed consent issue, the techniques require fully grown tissue. You wouldn't want pre-puberty SRS: it would require multiple surgeries (just look at what intersex children have to go through).
HRT; no contest.

Lmao pre puberty hrt here too. What I meant is you could either start hormones at like 12 or start at 18 and get srs. However, if you chose starting at 12 you would never get srs.

Hormones
No traumitizing periods and less chance of getting fetures I hate? I'm there!

This one is easy for me to answer....If we are talking me now, I would choose SRS since the pre-puberty HRT would nullify my children and there is nothing I would not do for them. However, if we are talking me deciding back in my pre-puberty days I would have most assuredly chosen the HRT.

I don't even feel strongly about SRS. I used to think I definitely didn't want it and would be happy just after HRT, now I wonder if it's something that would start to bother me more. But definitely I want HRT more at any point in my life.
I guess I could get black market estrogen for not too expensive if I had somehow had SRS pre puberty. ??? In monetary terms that might be the best bet.

HRT, without a question. A full life that is much more normal > a normal sex life. I'm not even so interested in sex anyway. I would be dysphoric about my genitals, but that would probably be a lesser evil.

Oh sorry. HRT pre puberty definitely. SRS would have been about 20 and 38 years as a full fledged woman.

HRT would have probably made more of an impact when I was pre puberty. And even now I think HRT would mean more for me in the long run.

SRS no contest. It is important to me and if I started pre-puberty I'd never be able to have kids, also important to me. Plus I don't really look that masculine, even with my insecurities I think I can pass right now even without HRT if I worked at it, the only reason I'd consider pre-puberty hormones is because voice training is a bitch, but even that's not enough, lolz

If you had SRS pre-puberty, wouldn't that sort of negate the HRT issue? No need for an anti-androgen and you would need to take estrogen to prevent bone issues. Even if you had no estrogen (or T for us guys), pre-puberty SRS would prevent those nasty masculinization (feminization) effects.

Well what i meant was imagine a magical transfairy came to you and said I can either give you hrt pre puberty, but doing so would mean never in your life would you get srs, or I could give you srs for free but only nce you have been on hrt post puberty. Needless to say, this transfairy ain't the most popular gal at the party.

Well, in that case, probably HRT.

Interesting question
Because if a MtF had SRS pre-puberty then they would not suffer the effects of T and the HT rather than HRT (There would not be a need to replace the T because it would not be prevalent) would continue their feminine development
Hrt first, then SRS, then resumed HRT may not completely eliminate the effects of T
But could a child make such a decision at such a young age?

I did wake up as a child wondering if my body had changed to a female's. It just got more masculine, even though I was skinny as a rail. If that option of HRT for minors was available in 1965, I would've chose it. However, that 4 year hitch in the Navy in 1971-1975 was the highlight of my life thus far.

Probably do the SRS option.
I regret nothing more than not starting earlier... but I will be okay, in time. I look okay as it is, and if I get SRS... then I will be able to feel normal combined with the other things I can do. I will pass as cis all the time.
But the HRT option disallows SRS, and I can't have that.

Well, all I can say is that when I was only just post-pubescent (15 or so, I guess), I absolutely longed for someone or something to take my male parts away and make me into a girl instead. So that unhappy kid would have said SRS ... and I'm sticking to it now!
