I think it's relevant since it shows the pervasive nature of the media in sexualizing children.

Gender and sex aren't the same thing. Gender is how you feel about and see yourself. Sex is what your identified as at birth. I was called a tomboy my hole life because I hated dresses, pink, and played in mud and climbed trees. Believe it or not my genitalia doesn't define who I am. I DO! And from a very early age. Nothing in that cover photo normalizes underage sex, or sex with children. It's child with long hair sitting down. Shit even her shoulders are covered. There is no indecency in that photo unless you consider the word gender sexualized. And that is just nonsense.

Can you agree that these type of decisions should be left until the brain is fully developed and can understand the complete implication of surgically altering ones gender? Here is the photographer btw. Full lgbt activist http://instagram.com/hammond_robin

So it's okay and go off to war at 18, and make that decision, but not this one? no one under the age of 18 has ever had gender reassignment surgery. Do you see something inappropriate with his pictures?

Transgender surgery is an option for adults who are diagnosed by a mental health care provider as having gender identity disorder. In actuality, very few transgender patients undergo sexual reassignment surgery.

The Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association provides the following eligibility and readiness criteria for transgender adults seeking reassignment surgery:

Eligibilty

Legal age of majority (age 18 in the United States) 12 months of prior continuous hormone therapy (HT), unless medically contraindicated 12 months of successful, continuous, full-time, real-life experience Regular, responsible participation in psychotherapy, if required by the mental health professional Demonstrable knowledge about surgical cost, length of hospitalization, complications, and rehabilitation Knowledge of different competent surgeons Readiness Patient has made demonstrable progress in consolidating gender identity. Patient has made progress in improving or continuing stable mental health (implies control of sociopathy, substance abuse, psychosis, and suicidal tendencies).

Unless parents give them permission though a doctor recommendation.

Not at age 9. If they did they should be sued and their license to practice taken away.
