Thank you for the personal insight in to this. I just learned a lot and I appreciate it.

    Most people know that your brain doesn't finish developing until you are about 25 years old.
I actually didn't realize this. What does it mean that it is "still developing." Physically, what is still happening up there? How does this effect our gender identification?

It sounds like there is no simple answer for how a parent to should help their child through this. From what you can gather from the video and the NPR article, do you think these specific parents are taking the right approach?

Edit: Also, welcome to Hubski! Glad you found us.
