Most gender dysphoric children accept their chromosomal gender by the end of puberty whereas Johns Hopkins discontinued their gender reassignment program due to poor long-term psychological results. Dr. Zucker's work, while not 100% effective, does help many children avoid long-term psychological distress. Children should not be deprived f his help.
