Is it even safe for a child to be taking T...?

No one knows, and no one appears to care.

Anecdotally, there are lots of stories of trans men dying in their 40s and 50s. And these were people who had been on testosterone for much shorter periods of time than these children, who can expect to be on it their entire lives. Put an 8 or 12 year old on testosterone, and that's six or seven decades, if they make it to the average lifespan. Who knows how a female body will respond after that length of time? I truly fear most of them will not live long enough to find out.
