Brief Description of the Dilemma
Should children receive gender reassignment hormone treatment? That is a very current and controversial question.
One reason that leads an individual to want gender reassignment hormone treatment is gender dysphoria. That is the
feeling of discomfort identifying with the gender assigned at birth. There are many concerns ethically, mentally,
spiritually, and scientifically with offering children gender reassignment hormone treatment. Various reasons exist on
why some people are in support of it, while others are against it. Some of such reasons will be addressed in this
presentation.
