“Gender dysphoria” is a code word for gay in boys, lesbian in girls.
It has no other meaning.
If that comes up the child should immediately be shuffled off to a gay or lesbian environment where other adults who have experience as a gay or lesbian child can give them the full facts before a delusional person does.
It used to be called something like gay uncle Al or lesbian aunt Rusty.
These characters have disappeared as family size has shrunk dramatically.
A psychotherapist or psychiatrist is no substitute.
Only real gays or lesbians can speak to the child as a peer.
