What are the ethical concerns surrounding transage?

Transage refers to individuals who feel as though they are a different age than their physical body. This phenomenon raises several ethical concerns, particularly regarding consent and autonomy. One concern is whether it is ethical for individuals to alter their legal age, as it could impact their ability to make decisions and engage in activities that are typically restricted by age. Another concern is whether individuals who identify as transage should have access to certain medical treatments or procedures, such as hormone therapy, in order to appear as the age they identify as. These concerns raise complex ethical questions about the rights and responsibilities of individuals to define their own identity, as well as the role of society in regulating age-based norms and expectations.
