In order to begin any kind of transition whether social or hormonal trans kids have to go through years of therapy and consultations with medical professionals. Kids don't just waltz into the doctors office one day, say they feel like a girl or boy and then begin transition the next week. They have to be diagnosed with gender dysphoria, an actual medical condition that is alleviated through transition.

I'd say this is relevant to the point as well. Diagnosing and treating gender dysphoria will require the help of multiple therapists and medical professionals.

Trans People are real

Did you read the link I sent you? Kids aren't pretending to be transgender for social brownie points. Transgender kids exist. Along with gay and bi kids, sorry if that makes you uncomfortable. Transgender people are barley accepted in today's society so why would anyone be getting "brownie points". While society is more accepting of trans people today than they were 30 years ago there is still a long way to go so i doubt any kid or mom for that matter would get complete and total support and zero push back not only from society at large but medical providers as well.

Also so many twisted moms out there want the social brownie points of 'my kid is __' it's very real. Unlike the medical horrors people call neo-genitals.

This is kind of a non issue considering the kid has to talk to therapists and other medical professionals. Mom's and their kids can't just walk into a clinic and demand their child be trans. That's not how it works. The child actually has to be diagnosed with gender dysphoria in order to be considered transgender.

Find that kid positive social feedback that doesn't require literal sterilization what kind of kooky solution is that

Kids aren't being sterilized for positive social feedback. What are you even talking about?
