A “male” name is no problem. Wearing “men’s clothes” (I’ve often worn “men’s clothes” my entire adult life, having imbibed in the 70s-80s the then-radical-why-did-we-go-backwards-in-the-2000s idea that a WOman can wear anything she wants) is cool. But the pronoun thing feels like a slippery slope. I don’t think a person with two x chromosomes and a scientifically-verifiable female body is a “he” or a “him.” Transition is a conveyer belt, and certain things (like being called “he”) seem to me like they would increase dysphoria. Let me say I don’t doubt for a minute that the feeling and idea of dysphoria are real. I don’t question a person’s feelings. What I question is what to DO with that feeling.
they would only increase dysphoria if the child felt dysphoric about those pronouns. actually use their preferred pronouns and you’ll see if they feel dysphoria or not.
Being called “he” would increase and validate the feeling/idea that she, as a biological female, is “in the wrong body.” It’s self-fulfilling. Dissociation from objective reality is only encouraged by the trans paradigm. With any other mental health diagnosis, dissociation is considered something to treat, not validate. People with body dysmorphic disorder (a different diagnosis) want to amputate healthy body parts, but psychologists and surgeons are not rushing to support that desire.
