While I agree that child transition is fraught with problems and so is much of what is consistently being discussed as gender dysphoria is problematic. I’m going to disagree with the author. Their thinking, also falls for a similar problem of overly simplifying a very complex situation and misses the bigger picture. Gender dysphoria isn’t one thing and the children and adults involved aren’t all thinking and experiencing the same thing. For more information I’m sharing a link written by some of the experts who have many decades of experience working with and studying the trans population.
There are multiple sub-types of GD, but they are united by a complete delusion about reality. Men cannot become women. They can have a sexual fetish about wearing women's clothes, and they can try to get others to use the wrong pronoun. But they are pathetic losers and failures. The ROGD kids are part of the current hysteria.
The most pernicious lie is that there are "trans children" who are, as soon as they are talking, convinced that they are in the wrong body. I am not convinced that there is any validity to this. My daughter tells us the our granddaughter decided that she wanted a new thumb, since she had a boo-boo. My daughter did not cut off the thumb, and granddaughter is now over the notion of "thumb dysphoria". But why do parents go along with this delusion? Why do parents affirm the delusion?
I encourage you to read what I linked to, because the authors make no argument for, nor do they believe anyone can change sex. There were are comments about pronoun requirements, and they don’t make any argument in favor of kids transitioning either. Instead they offer a better understanding and some valuable perspective what your kids might be experiencing from both a research and scientific perspective that goes many decades back. This is not the candyland stuff nor the overly simplistic critical view either.
Being better informed will help parents and kids make better decisions and understand their own situation. You might consider reading this yourself so you can better discuss this topic.
