“How can you listen to a kid who wants to change sex? My kid wants to be a dinosaur!”
Because unlike wanting to be a dinosaur, there's decades of science showing kids with persistent gender dysphoria:
1. Rarely grow out of it
2. Continue to suffer if not treated
3. Suffer lifelong pain if they go through the wrong puberty
4. Are at significant risk of suicide/self-harm if untreated
5. Thrive as well as cis kids if they are supported by family/friends and given gender-affirming care
