Well, seeing as she’s growing up with the understanding that gender doesn’t exist and her biological reality isn’t a feeling in some middle-aged man’s head, I don’t see that happening.

If she still suffers from sex dysphoria, then she will receive the mental health care she needs, and her parents will not enable her delusions.

“Gender doesn’t exist” oh my god

Well, yeah. Gender is a social construct. Unless you think a minutes-old baby boy knows he wants to punch things and crush beer cans on his forehead?

Lol or do you think fetuses hear the ultrasound technician say “it’s a girl!” and they start hopping around in utero saying “actually I identify as a transracial quadrigender sapiosexual teapotkin and you’re being transphobic”?

Or do you maybe think that a tiny baby who hasn’t yet figured out that you don’t stop existing when they close their eyes probably has no fucking clue what “gender identity” is and learns everything about who and what they are by watching the world around them?

And I would add: They also learn by what they are told, and if all the adults around them are saying that, indeed, their bodies are “wrong” and “don’t match” what’s in their heads, that will influence the child’s decision to medically transition later. Trans activists always say that puberty blockers, preferred prounons, and all the rest are “harmless” because only TRULY trans kids will choose transition after childhood, but this completely ignores how much kids are molded by their childhood experiences.
