again, GD treatments very often require drugs..and possibly even surgery to resolve the problem...and 'Regret Rates' are very low.
Here's an excerpt from the link...

WHAT IS TRANSGENDER MEDICAL TREATMENT?
Guidelines call for thorough psychological assessments to confirm gender dysphoria — distress over gender identity that doesn’t match a person’s assigned sex — before starting any treatment.
That treatment typically begins with puberty-blocking medication to temporarily pause sexual development. The idea is to give youngsters time to mature enough mentally and emotionally to make informed decisions about whether to pursue permanent treatment. Puberty blockers may be used for years and can increase risks for bone density loss, but that reverses when the drugs are stopped.
Sex hormones — estrogen or testosterone — are offered next. Dutch research suggests that most gender-questioning youth on puberty blockers eventually choose to use these medications, which can produce permanent physical changes. So does transgender surgery, including breast removal or augmentation, which sometimes is offered during the mid-teen years but more typically not until age 18 or later.

Bottom line...there is no "Chemical Castration" of kids.,,and counseling alone does not work for those who are assessed to have Gender Dysphoria.
