To be honest idk about that, kids are pretty fucking stupid in general. Not sure if they should be allowed to do whatever they want before legal age
But gender dysphoria is feeling something is wrong, that has nothing to do with intelligence
that's actually a good point, what is relevant for a clinican to evaluate a child's self awareness about their gender? Is being younger than 18 actually empirically relevant to that awareness?
Regardless, let's say we don't trust a kid's self knowledge, how does a cis child know they are cis? Should cis children be forced to take puberty blockers because they don't really know their gender until they are 18? What is the relevant difference for a trans child?
