Just another case of a father who can't accept that HIS SON is trans. He probably sees it as a verdict of his own manhood. /toxicmasculinity

A study from the TransYouth Project found that trans children as young as 5 years old respond to psychological gender-association tests, which evaluate how people view themselves within gender roles, as quickly and consistently as those who don’t identify as trans.

”We can’t say with 100 percent accuracy, but we can get a good picture very early on,” Ehrensaft said. “In my training as a developmental psychologist, the very theory is that by age 6 you should know your gender or there’s something wrong with you.”
She added, “When kids whose gender matches the sex on their birth certificates say, ‘I know my gender,’ nobody questions that. They say, ‘Oh, of course. You should.’ But if a kid says, ‘I know my gender,’ but it’s not the sex on their birth certificate, people ask, ‘Oh, how could you possibly know that?’ How can we have both at the same time?”

Seems to me that hormonal treatment and chirurgical operations shouldn't be delivered if you're not 100% certain or at least at the age of being in charge of yourself.
Can't give a kid age 6 the right to do an operation but not to vote, see my point?
There will never be a perfect solution but clearly, we should avoid any definitive solution as much as possible for kids.
Edit: oh and by the way, it's not normal to adapt legislation, change everything and give so much attention to what is not even 0.2% of the population.
I don't give a fuck about trans and never will.
