Even if it was found that somehow, simply for the sake of argument, that women’s souls were being put by accident into male bodies, and vice versa, the only ethical course of action would be the same course of action that is taken for anyone with an untreatable congenital defect. You help them come to terms with reality and accept their bodies for what they are with counselling and psychological care.

The world we live in is very strange. Simultaneously, we have people claiming that we should just accept morbidly obese people and alter the world to accommodate them without them having to do anything themselves (fat acceptance) and then we have the people who are claiming to be the wrong sex demanding access to surgical and endocrine interventions to alter themselves rather than just accept reality. Seems to me the people pushing the philosophy behind all this have a consistency problem.

The trans children thing is nothing more than adults looking to use children as a prop for their born this way argument and clout thirsty parents. There is no basis for interventions in children other than psychological monitoring (for safeguarding).
