This country cannot possible get more screwed up than it is now....oh wait, of course it can.
The child needs a psychiatrist & the parents need to be stripped of their parental rights for not getting this child the mental help he needs to accept the reality that men are men & women are women.
We don’t cede half of Europe to people who believe they are Napoleon. We don’t allow a person who claims he is Elmer Fudd Millionaire live in a mansion & go on yacht simply because he claims he owns them.
This insanity has gone on long enough. This nonsense is in our faces in order to hide the fact that the elites in this country are selling out the middle-class to China on the cheap.
The real question is why the parents aren’t arrested for child abuse for seeking the surgical mutilation of their child.

Do a chromosome test, prove its gender and offer to pay the first 10 payments for psychiatric help.

Elective masochism — not covered.
While I agree with most of your post I disagree with this part. Think Islam.
They think they are Mohamad, that’s different!
The phrase “transgender boy” means that this child is a girl, and therefor, the correct pronoun is “she.”
"Pattie Pritchard facilitates the Gender Diversity Family Support Groups in Kitsap county, WA. She and her husband live in Bremerton with their 3 kids, dog and cat. As a parent raising a trans son in a biracial family, Pattie has become a strong advocate for issues related to gender, diversity and equity, especially local to Kitsap County. For her day job, Pattie works with cancer patients as a licensed clinical social worker."Just fire her. No job, no standing to sue.
The country is full of evil people doing demonic / crazy things. What parent would entertain at the least and even worse promote permanent damage to their child over mass hysteria. Completely and totally evil / demonic.
An insurance policy is a contract. If a procedure isn’t covered in the contract, it ain’t gonna be paid. If mommy dearest wants her child mutilated, she has to pay for it.
I believe she needs a lobotomy more than the kid needs hormones.
