I highly doubt (s)he identified as female the moment (s)he learnt how to speak.

If the child is legitimately trans then that's fine. It's awesome (s)he discovered it sooner rather than later so (s)he can plan for the future in how to prevent their body becoming more masculine and figure out a life plan.

However i am highly sceptical of all these young, 'perfect' examples that gender is a social construct. It's all quite...polished. How does a child even have gendered speech before learning to talk?! That makes absolutely no sense. It sounds more like the parents tricked the child into calling themselves a "girl" because a toddler is not really going to know the 'real' meanings behind the word.

It's a bit disgusting - if the child decides (s)he does, indeed, identify as a male...that's a LOT of paperwork and shit to unravel. That's a lot of resentment and teasing. That's a lot of confusion and psychological damage. Why take the risk so soon unless it was out of a vested interest?

EDIT: If I am going to get a down vote parade at least argue with my posts first.

Even if it has generated some meaningful debate in the thread, I don't think this is really relevant to men's rights.

child abuse.

I'm Argentinian and I did not hear a word about this. Nobody I knew did. This is also part of the issue.

This thread is being brigaded so hard it's not even funny.

we don't treat schizophrenia by indulging the schizophrenic's delusions.

we don't treat depression by validating all the thing the depressed person sees as wrong with his or her life.

we don't treat phobias by ridding the world of the object of fear, for example, arachnophobia is not treated by sweeping a neighborhood clean of spiders

we don't treat bipolar disorder by funding manic shopping sprees and reinforcing depressive dispairs.

we don't treat psychopathic serial killers and rapists by supplying them with victims.

so why in the fuck do we still treat gender dysphoria with hormones, surgeries, and encouragement?
