Via Zoe's <http://aebrain.blogspot.com/> blog, I found myself reading this
article on transgender children <http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200811/transgender-children>,
and some of the psychological and ethical debate surrounding the subject.
I've blogged about treatment of young transsexuals
before <http://crystalgaze2.blogspot.com/2007/05/distorting-reality-further.html> and I remain cautious about how such cases should be handled (I do believe that the current WPATH SOC approaches the subject with a degree of caution and humility that is appropriate). That said, The Atlantic has done quite a good job of actually researching the topic, and talking to various clinicians and researchers - and pointing out both the good and the bad.
