The Transgender Child

Dr. Diane Ehrensaft, child psychologist and author of the acclaimed book, “One Pill Makes You Boy, One Pill Makes You Girl,” describes “a growing cohort of children who, at ages as young as three or four, announce they do not accept ' the gender assigned to them at birth.” Similarly, a leading expert on medical treatments for childhood/adolescent gender dysphoria at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Norman Spack, describes how his patients, as young as eight years old, “have been digging in their heels for five years or longer about their gender identity and gender role.”
