But I might have to side with Kipper_3434 on this.
Does a 16/17 year old really know their gender and/or sexuality at such a young age?
Clearly, Kipper_3434 was questioning, confused, or unsure of theirs at that age, and wouldn't have wanted a major realization to cement and bind them for the rest of their life only to have it change once they became an adult.
GGG, PepsiFree, or afc_wimbleton did you know your gender and/or sensuality at 17?

if someone knows their sexuality and gender at 17 is based on personal development, I know a friend who just realized he's pan sexual in his late 30s. For me personally, I definitely knew my sexuality and gender at 17, but that is my journey and not everyone will have the same journey.
With proper counselling and professional guidance, along with checks and balances, having gender reassignment at a younger age may prevent a lot of mental health issues. I definitely agree there should be an age that below is not allowed, but not sure 18 is the right age. I feel that age may be right for some people but wrong for others and that is where professional guidance in the individual circumstances.
