And yes, that's crazy
As you said. They're not your kids.
Here's the full write up if you like. I do believe I read the word diagnosed a couple times. Not that it's really the issue.

The one and only, determining 3 year old's as transgender. Poster child for crazy.

I believe I would wait until he's at an age where he's mature enough to understand gender identity and see if it's something truly affecting him.After puberty maybe. I don't assume he's got it all figured out at 3 and go buy him dresses.
I'm not letting my 3 year old determine his/gender.

Yes after puberty.

So if the 3 year old has a penis, you are going to force him to act like a boy.
After puberty. You've totally closed your mind to any and all professional information provided.

I'm not gonna force him to "act" anyway. That's not what parents do. He can act however he wants. If he still feels like a girl after puberty and his bodies natural hormones kick in we would begin to look at what options are available.

I said In my personal opinion, letting a 3 year old determine themselves to be transgendered and doctors reinforcing the notion at such young ages was batsh!t crazy to me.

That's your option.
Why deny the option to other parents? Personally, I don't think I would use puberty blocking. However, I can understand why a parent would want their daughter to have more time to come to terms with their gender before it becomes a lot more complicated.

And you have provided nothing saying that doctors reinforce the notion.

I do believe that Profusion has a point, if only on the grounds of student safety. I'm not sure what kind of experience you had growing up in school, but I was picked on a bit. It doesn't take a huge leap of the imagination to see major problems arising out of a miniscule population (aka, minority) of gender dysphoric students using the same facilities as normal students. Kids can be cruel.
There were transgender kids in school. They used the bathroom they identified with. There was no issue ---- until a paranoid adult threw a fit.
Get over yourselves.
