Re: Prevent Trans in Children
Elle,
I've decided to leave it up for now. I don't know if this is so in your country, but in the US this has become a HUGE political issue with lots of misinformation and paranoia flying around from certain factions. Teachers are being accused, with no evidence, of trying to "convert" and/or "recruit" kids to be trans. This is one of many tactics they use to scare voters to vote their way. This reads like a post that would come from one of those factions. If something like that is coming from a 4yo, I wouldn't pay it much attention. Getting upset may cause the child to dig in. I have a 4yo niece who for almost a year said she wanted to stay a baby because it was easier. She eventually outgrew it.

I suspect this is a troll post. I am contemplating deleting it.
Deleting it why? It's a parent asking a question about NOT wanting to indulge a child and perhaps putting them on a gender-affirming path that may ultimately render the child infertile and on lifelong medication?
Even if this is a gender-critical troll... this is a subject, and this is a parent who should be able to ask questions of others who are at the other age-end of trans ideology

Elle refusing to allow children to be themselves, and forcing them to comply with what their parents are comfortable with, is exactly how you end up with a husband coming our as Trans in his fifties after his parents pass away. If you've raised boys and girls from infancy you know there is a distinct difference. Most people have never experienced first hand a child who identifies as something other then their biological gender, it is self evident who they are and want to be. Forcing a child to be something they are not is cruel and founded in fear and ignorance. This is right up there with telling a lesbian or gay man that marriage will change their sexual orientation. This ideology, not science, only leads to pain and suffering for all those involved.

Re: Prevent Trans in Children
Elle,
I've decided to leave it up for now. I don't know if this is so in your country, but in the US this has become a HUGE political issue with lots of misinformation and paranoia flying around from certain factions. It's not such a huge issue as the US...yet. But there is as much misinformation that comes from the trans side of this issue too. ."do you want a live daughter or a dead son?" has to be the most cruel thing a doctor/psychologist can say to a parent! Teachers are being accused, with no evidence, of trying to "convert" and/or "recruit" kids to be trans. I hear that schools don't let parents know when a student decides to change their name/pronoun/sex. I think that is wrong. This is one of many tactics they use to scare voters to vote their way. Votes, voting? The post doesn't sound at all political to me. This reads like a post that would come from one of those factions. If something like that is coming from a 4yo, I wouldn't pay it much attention. Getting upset may cause the child to dig in. I have a 4yo niece who for almost a year said she wanted to stay a baby because it was easier. She eventually outgrew it.
Yes the post does sound odd, because there is plenty of information to be found about this online, and all a parent has to do is be the parent and not listen to fanatic trans activist rubbish.
Thanks for not deleting it Sam

Re: Prevent Trans in Children
..... Forcing a child to be something they are not is cruel and founded in fear and ignorance.,,,,
I've read enough articles and watched enough videos of de-transitioners to know that children don't have the cognitive ability to process and fully understand what their life will look like after they progress to puberty blockers and hormones that doctors/surgeons/other adults tell them are necessary to change them. Many of these children would grow up to be gay or lesbian....if left alone to grow and develop normally without harsh medical intervention.
I know a man who, at 60, had his penis and testicles 'removed' and a short vagina 'inserted'. Now he knew what he was doing, so that's okay, he'll live the rest of his life on medication.
In my opinion it's child abuse if the natural development of a child is interfered with
