Food preference compared to a diagnosable condition isn't an accurate comparison.
...that'd be like comparing a normal 6 year old's belief in Santa, with a schizophrenic 6 year old hearing voices that aren't there. While both technically involve "believing in something that isn't there", the former can be addressed by the parents explaining that they're the ones putting the present under the tree and that it's not a random hefty guy in a red suit. A parent can tell a schizophrenic child that "the voices you're hearing aren't really there, it's just in your head" till they're blue in the face, it's not going to make those voices any less real/scary for the child.
What did people do before sex change procedures were available? THEY LIVED WITH IT. My 6 year old also wants to be a dolphin but I guess she’ll have to settle for being a girl since thankfully that procedure isn’t available yet.
