> Young children are essentially genderless. Children know what gender they are and learn gender norms from a young age, in fact. > If they express gender issues, work on it using therapy to find what the cause is. I don't see the need to make them crossdress etc. at such a young age. Nobody is being forced to "cross dress" (I put this in quotes, since I would argue the term doesn't really fit in the context of trans children). This is something kids do for themselves, along with expressing such thoughts as what gender they are, what toys they prefer to play with, what other kids they like playing with. And then people like Zucker tell them they mustn't, because it puts them "at risk of homosexuality or transsexuality" (this is me paraphrasing, but it's very close to what he's said), instruct their parents to force them not to, and they end up with psychological issues for the rest of their life.
