I can't answer that because I see it as a "blanket" question. I do believe that a therapist & other psychological resources should be part of the equation.
I'm not speaking to the ridiculous notion that some kids just wake up one day and decide to be trans and their parents take them for hormones or surgery. I don't profess to know much of anything about this subject, but I feel certain that's not how it works.
What do you mean by "blanket question", and why is it you can't answer it?
Is there any reason to think that psychology is less politicized than everything else is? Do you see gender studies as science, i.e., knowledge acquired by means of scientific methodology? Do you think it's acceptable for science to be politicized?
