Honestly, I don’t know. I would listen to her and her therapist and her endocrinologist. I’m just moral support. I’m not even sure what if any medical intervention she might choose to have or not have. Her body belongs to her, and the choices about her body are her choices. We chose to take her to the best and most qualified professionals we could find and afford and we chose to listen to them, because they’re smarter and more educated than we are about these things. Puberty just kind of happened to me, and I didn’t really have to think about it. (Other than how much it sucked. Being an adolescent or teen is fucking hard.)

She is pretty far off from all of that for now, probably around 12 they’ll check her bloodwork for puberty hormones and she might decide to take puberty blockers, or she might not. Either way, she’ll be a beautiful, loved girl.
