A doctor helps children change their gender

Thank you, the voice of reason.

I spent my entire childhood wanting to be a boy. I even had an elborate fantasy that I actually believed that I was really a Martian boy named Jupiter who had come to Earth in this body (a female) in order to study the human race. I believed this for a year, I had an invisible penis. Since I was adopted, it all fit together nicely.

Once I hit puberty I started coming to terms with my gender and have had a normal (average, ordinary, not unusual) sexual life as a heterosexual woman, borne several children, enjoyed breastfeeding, etc.

When I was a girl, the thought of getting breasts appalled me! They sounded like totally inconvenient appendeges.

Exactly, this would be no different than sending a child to a monestary or convent to be groomed for religious life because of an inclination they show in childhood.

Sometimes parents have ideological agendas or are easily influenced by those with them, such as people who are overly enthusiastic over gender reassignment. This isn't a decision that a parent should be making for children based on a possibly ideologically driven assessment by a psychiatrist trying to further his career by making a name for himself as a pioneer.

Life changing decisions should be made by the person in question while they are an adult. If they need help in coping until then, and sorting out their emotions, send them to a counselor, enroll them in an alternative school, homeschool, find support with others. But don't start making irreversable decisions for them like this!
