It's not inconceivable. But for v young kids there should be v little difference between boys/girls anyway. My kids say only difference

I can't speak from experience about childhood dysphoria. I didn't experience dysphoria till I hit puberty. But it does seem to be a very real phenom for some kids.

And maybe that has something to do with the strict capitalist pink/blue gender division from an early age.

In the 70's everything was brown/blue. Son saw pic of 2 year old me- he thought it was him. My sons play with my old toys.

But now everything is gendered at a young age, and feminists believe this is damaging. I think it artificially inflates dysphoria.

I can see how this could trigger it earlier at any rate

but then where do you draw the line between normal kid behaviour and being trans?

If the only real difference between boys/girls that age is literally peeing standing up how can so many want to be the other?

And how can adults know that? As the mother of 3 intelligent kids, their grasp of biological difference until 7/8 is shaky at best

if you have a girl who persistently insists she's a boy (or vice versa), has social and body dysphoria—that's beyond the bounds of normal kid stuff. A boy who likes dolls or a girl who likes to play rough—that's not a sign of being trans.

Kids are saying they are the other sex because they like things associated with the other sex. And can be very persistent about this.

at the moment parents are getting accused of abuse if they counter that view e.g. saying it's fine to be like this, but ur still a girl.
