"A doctor at the renowned Children's Hospital Boston has launched a new
program to drug children to delay puberty so they can decide whether
they want a male or a female body, according to a report today in the
Boston Globe. Pediatric endocrinologist Norman Spack, 64, says he
started the Gender Management Service Clinic because he found himself
encountering 20-somethings who were "transgendered" and in good shape
socially, "but they were having trouble getting their physique to
conform to their identity. "I knew the 20-somethings could have better
chances of passing if they were treated earlier," he said."
