    “Gender affirming care” at six is letting them wear what clothes they want and play with what toys they want. And yes, you know you’re the wrong gender that young. Why don’t you ask child psychologists about this instead of random people on the internet? Or look at the studies? There’s no “indoctrination”. There’s supporting children when they make independent choices.

      Exactly this. Surgery is not an option from any reputable doctor before at least 18, and even then you’re fighting uphill even if there’s been an established pattern of care for gender dysphoria. At 6, you just let your child wear what clothes they want, play with what they want, and maybe allow them to try out different names if they want. That’s pretty much it. Literally nobody is suggesting hormones, blockers, or surgery for children, and having a lot of trans friends, I can tell you those are difficult to access even for people with long established gender dysphoria.
