Indentify how a stuctural functionalist, a conflict theorist and a symbolic interactionalist would theorize?

Should children be allowed to change gender without parental permission?Indentify how a stuctural functionalist, a conflict theorist and a symbolic interactionalist would theorize?
Well here is a question where the offical laws that be would actually apply. I would imagine that childern should have to wait till their adults or very close to make that kind of decision on their own. Really if it weren't for such things I'd probably have a crappy cartoon character tattooed on me somewhere. Some impulse thing I would have done as a kid and grew out of it... So there's the only logic I can see from it. Children aren't sure what they want, which is why they are ';raised'; by parents or parential units. So Little suzy doesn't decide one day that she wants to be a boy... then 2 years later wants to be a girl again... Besides a child's body isn't fully developed so doing such wouldn't make much sense.. It would likely cause an even greater mental idenity issue with the child.. Let's say they are 8 and just 3 years ago learned to correctly go into the women's restroom. Well not suddenly Little Suzy is Little Tom and has to learn all over again about going to the correct restroom... and how to use ';his'; new equipment. Ultimately regressing the child's development several years at least. This is at least my opinion with all things being equal.
