. a child would not persist .
word to the wise, my parents thought they knew what was best too. they made their attitude - similar to yours - well known, to the point that when i figured out what i am, i simply didn't tell them. i pretended to be 'normal' and i had a horrific abysmal excuse for a childhood, a decade of pure agony, as a result.
eventually, i ran away and transitioned anyway.
now i am a happy, healthy woman.
all my parents achieved with their archaic attitudes and abuses was to completely ruin years and years of my life and ultimately get themselves cut out of my life for good.
Shey, is this the mother you want to be?
I don't believe that story ... and I would be the mother who tried to pull everything out of my child. They wouldn't try to hide to much.
If a child of mine did transgender and decided to hold it against me .. for not supporting transition as a child , so be it... he loses a loving parent. They could very well turn against you for allowing transitioning at an age when they are not prepared emotionally , mentally, or psychologically to make such irreversible choices.
They may just call you a child abuser for allowing a child to make such an important decision.
so you believe she is making it up? Look up Leelah Alcorn's story...how about that mother? Would you want to be that mother who pushed her child to suicide?

This is why surgeons should never do this to children under 16, let alone anyone else. how do the parents of these children feel once this operation is complete?
poor children being totally brainwashed, manipulated and groomed from an early age.
This has to stop.
Can you cite any examples of minors having gender reassignment surgery? At least in the U.S. I can't find any doctors willing to do so and the typical treatment for minors under 16 is hormone blockers to delay onset of puberty and then hormone therapy after 16. But no surgeries prior to 18 that I can find. I would agree that any parent allowing surgery on a minor is making a terrible choice. But I can't find any examples. If you can't support that statement, then you're building a strawman to support a logical fallacy that exists only in your mind (and in the mind of the OP).

The odds of that happening far outweigh the other.

you are not giving children enough credit. They see the pretty women with their long hair and painted nails on tv, commercials, at the mall, the manniquins. Children are like little sponges. They see their pretty mom brushing her long hair, they know they want that too, but unfortunatly too young to let anyone know and obvious signs of depression happen.
I agree they are not inherently "girl things" which is just one more reason why a mother should allow her son to be happy and partake in them.
Isn't this a perfect example of external influences?
Here's a hypothetical scenario.
Take a child that has never been exposed to a female before, he has never even left his house, he doesn't even know that female's exists. What could be exhibit to show he's suffering from dysphoria?
Please just use your brain, im sick of these stupid questions, if you keep a child walled up inside it is also a form of abuse.

sorry for calling your questions stupid. I just knew you were not asking me bc you were concerned and wanted to know more about dysorphia, you were trying to find a fallacy in my reasoning.

My children are adults and have no issues with gender, but if I did have a child that was confused about his/ her gender orientation , there isn't a chance in hell they would get away with taking my child. There would be lawyers and lawsuits and all sorts of really bad publicity for your kind . Don' t go there veracity, you'll end up pissing off alot of really good parents.

Children aren't given hormones at 11.
Caitlyn Jenner said she was always unhappy as a man, so good luck with the whole "regret" thing.
