Puberty blocking treatment – should there be an age limit?

Apr 21, 2017, 09:15 AM

How young is too young to start changing your gender? Some parents are concerned that children are starting medical treatment to block puberty before they've had the chance to explore who they are. But organisations that support transgender people say kids - no matter how young - need to be accepted when they want to change identity. On yesterday's show, we talked to people on both sides of that debate, and this morning we were joined by two trans women with differing views on the issue. Alicia Perry from Belfast and Kerri Henderson from Derry/Londonderry, who works for the support group, Affirm NI.
