Counseling, family, and support groups must be utilized until that time. 

We don't normally wait with circumcisions, insulin, vaccines (well, sane people don't wait), corrective surgery for cleft palates, treatment of depression or other things. I think the need for treatment at a young age is probably a very small number, but I don't see the point in making those people wait just to make other people more comfortable.
