What if your child is trans?

This question is for everyone!

Your 11 year old biologically male child is diagnosed with severe, persistent gender dysphoria. Multiple specialists determine puberty blockers to be medically necessary.

  • Would you allow the puberty blockers under any circumstances?
  • Would you allow social transitioning?
  • Would you use their chosen name and pronouns?
  • Would you try conversion therapy*
  • Would your political/religious/moral views influence the medical decisions?

I'd love to hear your reasoning and feel free to add any other thoughts.

\Edited for clarity*
