I'm admittedly a bit skeptical about declaring transgender status before puberty has actually occurred--especially given the fact that kids haven't even really developed cognitively at this point.
It's unfair, but I really can't help but wonder if a lot of this is just "I heard about this on the (whatever the modern equivalent of myspace/xanga/livejournal) and it really spoke to me". Growing up is a tricky thing, and making dramatic physical alterations to the maturation process here for what might be a temporary identity exploration seems unwise.
