A model protocol currently employed in the Netherlands begins with a lengthy screening process in gender-variant pubescent teens at the "Tanner 2″ stage of pubertal development: breast budding in girls and testicular volumes of 8 cc, preceding phallic enlargement in boys. At this stage the pubertal manifestations are reversible. GnRH analogues are given for at least two years, potentially until age 16, when adolescents in the Netherlands are capable of giving informed consent to receive crosshormones.
