I was ready to sharpen the pitchfork starting into this article, but the author has some seemingly reasonable arguments. "Accept your kids as they want to be" seems pretty reasonable. I'll have to read more before forming more specific opinions, and I worry parents will miss "accept your children" and skip to "grow out of this," but it's an interesting counter point.

The real thing to avoid, it would seem, is making the transition permanent with hormonal therapy or surgery, and then regretting it. It's almost just another version of the argument "don't force them into a box."
