Reply #3: "dysphoria" is a bit misleading, although the policy seems enlightened. [View All]

It is not "unhappiness" or "dysphoria" -- it is simply that looking at the genitals causes others (doctors, parents,...) to try to make these kids act as if they were of the opposite gender. The mismatch is between what they are, gender-wise, and what others think they ought to be, based on the appearance of their genitals. The biology of that region usually, but not always, corresponds to gender. This story shows one of many cases, and I am glad the parents and school have undertood this.
