Re: Legal age in which a person can have "Sex Reassignment Surgery"
Not at age 11, for many reasons. Not the least of which is that the hormones of your body have not settled yet. You will be going through puberty if not begun already, and these have to be dealt with employing medications which a doctor is not likely to prescribe. My recommendation is that you wait a few years, then see a doctor about planning for sex reassignment. At the age of 14 and up, your medical records can be kept private if you wish, so your conversation with your physician can be kept private from your parents, just between you and your doctor. Until a decision is made.
Sex reassignment doctors usually prefer to begin at the earliest in late teens, like 17 or 18 when the body's hormones are more settled and the person's sex identity is better established. It is a huge decision to make.
