This is not something where ‘compromising’ is an option.
The same applies to those mutilating children to "cure" their so called "gender dysphoria." Who are going to be there when the reality stikes in a couple of years, when their child is suicidal, when their child cannot enjoy life because of health issues, when their child realizes they are not "happy" now, but deeply depressed.
