Should people under the age of 18 years old be able to receive gender-transition treatments?
No, children should not be allowed to make irreversible life decisions
Transition in childhood, and especially before puberty, is social: using a name and pronouns with which the child is comfortable, and allowing the child to dress in a way which is comfortable. Before puberty, there is no irreversible decision.
In the case of "puberty blocker" hormone treatments, these are also reversible. What is not reversible is puberty itself.
Additionally, transgender children and their guardians are heavily counseled on any potential medical treatments and decisions.
