Right now the best treatment for people who have a different gender than their sex is to let them express themselves how they want to. They still suffer from higher than normal suicide rates. So if you are asking me if you could "cure" your own child from not having gender dysphoria (which is classified as a disorder under ICD-10) I would say yes if it improves the liklyhood of a positive life outcome.

But so do gay and lesbian people. So if your premise is you would be willing to "cure" your child of being transgendered to reduce the chance of suicide or other negative life outcomes, you would have to extend the same premise to curing your homosexual child. If you wouldn't, you're not being honest. Which is what I was asking Resurrection, and his response differed.
