Someone will have to define what "transitioned" means and enforce that. What is your definition and how do you see that line being legally enforced in day to day settings?

Transitioned has to mean some form of gender expression, that is, enough visible cues that someone is trying to live as a woman. I do not see any way that this can be legally enforced.

How does one 'live as a woman?'

In Chile, minors between the age of 14-17 need approval of their parents/tutors and "proofs". https://www.bcn.cl/leyfacil/recurso/ley-de-identidad-de-genero Married people also need some additional bureocracy, since same-sex marriage is not legal in Chile. Only single people over the age of 18 can legally transition with 2 witnesses, a max of 2 times in their life. So, third world countries are still more strict legally.
