I dunno. It seems to me making the child miserable is kind of an evil thing to do. I'm extremely introverted, so when people tried to make me open up and be more sociable, it would make me miserable. You can't turn an introvert into an extrovert with pressure, you can only get them used to faking being sociable while suffering.
So I can relate to the kid with gender dysphoria, suffering because the father wants to enforce a birth gender role. Back in the 1950s, enforcing the gender role wouldn't be so bad, because society wasn't tolerant of gender swaps. These days, society in general is far more accommodating, so the kid could do fine for the most part.
To keep the kid from suffering, you pretty much need to either accommodate the gender dysphoria, or send the kid to a good psychologist to get the kid to work with the birth gender role somehow. But psychologists these days are far more likely to try to convince the parents to accommodate the gender dysphoria.
Then again, a sex change operation for the child would be too early. I can agree with that. That's a decision that shouldn't be made until adulthood.
