would you consider it child abuse

if say you had a very young child and that child said they feel like the opposite gender and you basically encourage them to transition with hormone blockers and so on at such a young age?

i think if a child feels very strongly about being who they feel they are for instance with gender that they can try living as said gender without permanently altering their body for the time being. Maybe im wrong but was just a thought since im watching a podcast with this as a discussion atm

I would say that is child abuse. Children are not able to make those sorts of decisions at that age and historically those decisions usually have negative results.

Most transgender people are not happy as demonstrated by a 40% suicide rate in the transgender community. Also there are more than a few transgenders that regretted transitioning.
