Sadly it looks like they were stopped, but if anyone else decides to do the same it's not enough to lock your kid in a basement. You need to deprogram them. I'm not sure what the best method is, but I'm sure it involves discussing the issue in an accepting and loving way.

• It's OK to act masculine or feminine regardless of sex. They don't need other people to force them into gender norms. They can love and be in a relationship with who they please. They can't force others to accept them, and just changing their body won't make their pain go away. One must love themselves before expecting anyone else to.

• Watch videos together like this interview with Dr. Debra Soh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9NeQTkJjIs Read the comments. There are several people who may have gone through the same emotional roller-coaster as your son or daughter.

• Show them the horror stories and results of "reassignment surgery" (only a google search away - lots of them on 4chan) Even if they aren't doing the full surgery yet, taking hormone blockers at such a young age will irrevocably damage their body. (some stories mentioned in those comments above) Everything about it is "experimental". It isn't a routine, commonly accepted procedure.

• Point out logical flaws in their thinking. The kinds of things talked about here regularly when we make fun of these weirdos. You'll need to ask questions and understand the child to know how to respond, but they need to know that their biological sex will never change. If you surgically grafted a trunk on, you wouldn't become an elephant would you?

• Let them know about the detrans movement. There are discussion forums out there like "/r/detrans/" on reddit. That forum specifically is very controlled, like all of reddit, so it's very pro-LGBT. I don't know the best place so this is something you'll want to review ahead of time, but it should help to know there are other people out there who feel the way they do but DON'T need to transition, or did and want to go back. (it's not like removing a tattoo...)

• Possibly explain to them the origin of the trans movement, reassignment surgery, and it's connections to pedophilia.

Of course all this depends on how much time you have with them, and what is age appropriate. (it's ridiculous that this has to be pointed out, yet the kid can go through with such a procedure)
