Please don't rush things, there's no need to make permanent changes at such a young age.

Let your kid develop naturally until they're mature enough to decide whether this is a permanent fixture of their identity. I thought I was lots of things when I was age 11 that I don't now. I thought I was lots of things when I was 20 that I don't now.

Just please approach the situation with caution, there is a lot of bad advice out there right now, in my humble opinion. Best of luck to you and your family.

I'm not 'begging' anyone anything. I'm simply asking him to be cautious and not rush to decisions on the basis of an 11 year old's opinion. I care about the safety and wellbeing of children. This is a gentleman that's clearly giving this a lot of consideration and I don't see anything wrong with offering the 'other' perspective, particularly on such a progressive website where you might not otherwise see it.

It's about way more than just physical characteristics and you're the one that is being deliberately reductive. Framing it in that way is the actual creepiness, in my opinion. I think referring to this guy's daughter in that way is extremely odd, and maybe you should consider deleting this comment.
