Laurie Frankel has an eight yr old who's transgendered. It is amazing she has realized this so early.
She has written two other books, both are available from Amazon.

Very early realization
Many transgendered youth come to this epiphany by age 4 or so, realizing that they are emotionally not like those of their birth gender. My own premise is that if these children are allowed to seek a role of their pleasing, most would not seek any sort of surgery or hormonal treatment. Instead they would just be effeminate boys or masculine girls and likely neither gay or lesbian.
The stereotyped clothing should disappear, allowing people to wear what pleases them, and is most suited to their activity.
For TS who need surgery
... what you say is not true. I would still want it whether I wear clothes or not.
not likely
the numbers wanting to medically transition (to however far they personally need to go) would not change appreciably.
What would change would be the suicide rate focused on dysphoria due to irreparable damage done by puberty
as acceptance gets wider and more consistent, the numbers transitioning will go up because peeps won't be as afraid to be open with who they are
plus even when i tried being a feminine boy to try and cope, I made a terrible boy (and it didn't help that much).
If the help available now was available back when I started working it out, I damn well would have transitioned as a child
Breaking social gendering of clothes is a separate issue to transition
Really?
I was two when I realised. Your comment chimes with the vicious claims by TERFs and other nasties that the 'trans lobby' is out to brainwash poor little gay kids into thinking they are trans. It also chimes with the 80% desistance myth, which conflates gender-nonconforming with GD.
