It's rude because these people want to be called by the pronouns in which they identify as.

Because there is no way to change the mind to suit the body. You cannot make yourself be something that you are not.

I do think that 16 is too young for the surgery, but not too young to know if you want it or not. It's a serious condition and a lot of people have killed themselves over it.

I respect everyone else's opinions and I'm glad you're trying to educate yourselves about the situation.
