While I'm sure a child that young could certainly have feelings of not being the right gender, is it a good parent who pushes them to accept their bodies as they were born, or a good parent who allows them to live as they'd like, free of gender contructs?
And can a child that young be aware enough of the consequences of the decision to live as the opposite gender? Its got to be much easier at 6 years old than 13 years old or 25 years old.
