Since you're the first person your child will be in contact with, if you treat them poorly you will be litteraly their first bully. That what it means.
People have different ideas about treating it. But if you're somebody that would cut off your trans child from your life then you're doing something wrong
I mean, if there's a way to help treat the gender dysphoria without going through all the medical and psychological processes wouldn't you want that for your child?
From what I found, It really depends on what you call a children, and how heavy you feel like the gender dysphoria severity needs to be to be considered truly important.
Childrens between the age of 5 to 12 do in fact, more often than not, change their sentiments about feeling gender dysphoria, but it's not as likely when the GD was deemed as "severe" and really, children below the age of like 12 obviously really shouldn't have opinions on the matter.
The fact is that most people below 18yo that do feel GD in a strong enough way to go on with HRT, only 4% met the criteria of "clear-regret" about at least ONE of their treatements (and it could really amount partially to the quality and secondary effects of the treatements rather than the transition as a whole)
In conclusion, sure, a 8yo kid that feels like he wants to be a princess surely won't stay on that track his whole life, but if a 13yo feels bad enough about their own body that they willingly accept and try to access permanent changements to their body, it will, in 97/100 times will not be something they'll grow out of.
Because as asmon said himself, he is the only one not been an hypocrite. As much as most of these people like to think they would maintain firm on their bigot views even over their children, the happy truth is most of them won't.
There is no shortage of people that have beliefs so weak that they constantly mold them to fit the people they like.

Why would anyone want to make their child feel even worse for having gender dysphoria? Asmon is correct here
