From NPR, is a 3 year old too young to transition? Is this a decision that should be delayed until puberty or later?

Well really, no decision has been made yet. They're allowing the child to dress how she wants to dress, change her name from a male to female one. Don't see a huge issue with that. All these decisions can be reversed at any time.
The real decisions won't happen for sometime now.
The story of Jazz Jennings is an interesting on to read up on. I won't get all the medical stuff right here I just quickly googled the latest update I could find.
http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/16/living...jazz-jennings/ Nothing medically done until 11 it seems just to delay puberty with testosterone blockers. Don't know if she is on hormone therapy or anything. Reading that she seems to be pretty popular now.
So let the kids dress as they want to dress, let them pick their names. No one is chopping off any tiny balls or injecting little Jaxson with hormones at 6.
