The "neutral" uniform rule has probaly influenced the children, but not positively. It's probably causing them to form a view that adults can be very overbearing, inflexible and lacking in common sense!

As to "waiting" until a dysphoric child becomes an adult can lead to many years of torment, that is, if they survive.

I'm not aware of any convincing research which shows or attempts to prove some genetic "defect" causing gender dysphoria just like there's none for indicating homosexuality.

Before anyone starts....... I'm certainly not of that ilk or "suffering" gender dysphoria. I'm just sympathetic to the cause of GD. I first began to read about the subject many years ago after April Ashley was "outed" by a newspaper which, at the time, totally ruined any chance she had of futhering a career of modelling.
