The Philadelphia Center for Transgender Surgery's founder Dr. Sherman Leis says that as people come to terms with gender dysphoria earlier, new surgery protocols are needed for trans teens.

"Although it may seem as if more teenagers are identifying as transgender people, I doubt that there are any more of them these days, as a percentage of the total population," observed Leis, one of America's leading transgender surgeons. "The fact is that more people are coming to terms with their gender dysphoria earlier in life, because public information is more available and our society is becoming more accepting of transgender people in general."

That's wonderful!

I wish they had been around in the 1960's when I was a teen!
