DSM-5 aims to avoid stigma and ensure clinical care for individuals who see and feel themselves to be a
different gender than their assigned gender. It replaces the diagnostic name “gender identity disorder”
with “gender dysphoria,” as well as makes other important clarifications in the criteria. It is important
to note that gender nonconformity is not in itself a mental disorder. The critical element of gender dys-
phoria is the presence of clinically significant distress associated with the condition.
That is right out of DSM-5.
Don't cry. It's ok.

I wish it was just online SJW's
I deal with this daily in UNI, all of my classes pertaining to behavioral neuroscience and etc has had this topic brought up.
I have been asked to leave 3 classes for debating from SCIENCE.
You'd think in extensive biology courses they would be more open to the idea of biological facts.

That isn't much of an answer. You are dancing around my question. At least you got one thing correct: talk to them and figure out how to deal with it. I'm sure you won't force them to be who they are not.
What part of her story hasn't she addressed yet? Talking about porn?

Fair enough, thank you for the honest conversation though. Very rare at Uni.
Cheers.

What is your solution to children with gender dysphoria?
What is my solution to children who are actually confused about wanting to be another sex? Talking.. asking tons of questions.. and hopefully with the answers , I can dole out appropriate amount of wisdom.
Much like I asked RainbowPhoenix about her self discovery story at age 4 . I found ...what I perceived as facts .. missing in her story.. and she still hasn't addressed that post to my knowledge.
Also remember it is " trendy " to be LGTBQ ... and kids will go to great lengths at times just to be considered cool.
Yes.. talking about porn.. she told a rather interesting story for a 4 year old who had her first ugre to NOT have a penis. She was watching a woman on TV with an exposed vagina ( who knows .. maybe two women).. and she ..or he at the time ...decided he wanted to be like them.

I don't recall her saying that she saw vagina on TV. I remember her saying that she saw other children's genitals. I think it was when she bathed with them or something.
Rainbow can you clarify for us please.

Listen here little b**** boy I'm a former Marine with a job that saw me leave the wire in the Helmand province. If you know what I'm saying then you know. Where did you serve and have you ever seen a real life explosion using military grade demo?
