The second thing to consider is that at the same time as puberty, (and a few years after) people go through a wide shift of who they identifty themseves as. For their own well being I would say at least a few years after puberty and an adult on their own before being given the chance of gender reassignment. Because it's not easily reversible, if it's reversible at all.
