would any doctor even perform that gender reassignment surgery on a child that young?
I guess I'd just tell them that it's impossible for a doctor to do it at that age
and once they're old enough to have it done, if they still feel the same the decision is theirs...

Hard to say for sure as im not a parent and not going through this. But I think id explain to them that they are in fact(a male or female depending on their gender) and what some of the difference are. If it turns out to be something deeper like gender dysphoria I would support them regardless.

Some of these responses man

I'd do whatever I can to keep my child happy. If they're born with gender dysphoria I'll accept the fact that they identify with the opposite sex and try to help them achieve the goal of being the opposite sex. It would definitely be hard to see your son/little girl become the opposite sex but I'd much rather have a happy transgender child than one that would grow up uncomfortable and depressed which could eventually lead to suicide. I can deal with my child being transgender but I could not deal with my child being unhappy and killing themselves.
