Lots of male children and men are beautiful and look absolutely gorgeous when dolled up in "feminine" clothes and makeup.
I posted a Getty Images photo of Brian Eno circa 1972 here but the link is now not working.
Plenty of boys and men like wearing their hair long, twirling about in frocks and spinny skirts, and strutting around fanning their proverbial feathers like peacocks. Oodles of boys and men enjoy wearing women's and girls underwear. Quite few get boners from it.
Conversely, lots of girls and women like wearing our hair short, are not into looking "girly," loathe the color pink, don't carry purses, and have no desire to paint our faces or fingernails.
So what. None of this changes anyone's sex.
Let kids be kids. If boys want to wear dresses and pink, and girls want to be butch, let them. But FFS, stop telling them and the world that kids' nonconformist taste in clothing, toy preferences and personality traits mean they were somehow "born in the wrong body" and they need to go to a "gender clinic" to be chemically castrated, sterilized and surgically mutilated.
But those men and boys do not want to live as women / girls 24/7. That's why we have this thing called "real life test" in transgender treatment. Those men / boys will find it quite stressful to live full time as women / girls.
For example, this guy likes dressing up as Disney Princesses. I don't think he is interested in living as a woman. He is not a trans woman. He just likes dress up.
And no one is telling trans kids they are in the wrong body. THEY are telling adults how they are feeling inside. They want to transition, not their parents, not their doctors or any other adults. You might feel more comfortable in your alternative reality, but you should not spread lies about children just to make yourself more comfortable.
