Why is it when a patent comes in claiming their toddler is trans no psychiatrist thinks it's the parent who needs treatment?

Like how does the most obvious answer not occur to these parents the second the kid says this stuff?

"Oh, you're just saying you're a girl because you're a child, and you have a very basic conception of social dynamics, and to you, a girl does a set of things and a boy does a set of things and you think doing those things defines those categories, so if you do some things from the girl set, you are one."

Then again that's literally what troons think. We're fighting literal baby logic.

It's so weird though. Nearly everyone does things from both. Like I know a lot of men that really enjoy baking. I know a lot of women that enjoy sports and working on cars. To most people it's just hobbies or stuff and has nothing to do with their sex. When places like Tavistock are using "well you like Thomas the tank engine and hate periods" as their reasoning for someone being trans it's just so out there that anyone looking in thinks the people saying that are mental. Most women I know hate periods. A fair few of them enjoyed Thomas as a kid, myself included. It was never anything more than...enjoying Thomas.
