I don't think anybody should be able to go through gender reassignment therapy until they are at the legal age of sexual consent, and only per their decision (a parent can't decide.) Sure, I know it looks more natural if you start a kid at 12, but a 12 year old really doesn't have the mental faculties to be certain about their preferred gender. This is especially true if you believe in things like gender-fluidity. The negative health risks also must be considered, and a 12 year old just isn't really considering that. Wait until they are 16-18 years old, and I am sure many trans women and men can become beautiful and happy with themselves regardless of when they start.
