Lemme say I haven't read the whole thread yet(cause I don't have time) but.. while I understand this is very unusual, and historically parents don't do this.

But how is this different from parents pushing a gender to a child simply based on their genitalia? We have evolved enough today that we know the genitalia is not a definitive ruling of gender. If the child wants to dress like the other sex, do we forbid it? I don't have children, and probably will not have them. But this is a legit question. I know trans people, and from talking to them, I know that a "normal" upbringing for a trans child is torturous and miserable. Is that not enough, for you to hear the child?

I don't claim to know what's right, but it is a legit thing to question.
