If your 9 or 12 year old child just wanted to change their gender (assume for this question that there is no underlying medical need for it, the kid just wants to do it,) would you allow it?

This question directed at the ages of the children, not the societal issues surrounding it. I can’t imagine any parent allowing the child to make that kind of huge decision at that age, just because the kid “wants“to do it, and I can’t imagine any doctor who would do it.

Inspired by this question, which has a link to the article that prompted it:
