Transgender children who have socially transitioned reported depression and self-worth that did not differ from their matched-control or sibling peers. Previous studies found that transgender children who had not socially transitioned had very high rates of depression and anxiety.

I think I understand both sides of this discussion and this makes me have a very uncertain opinion to it. On one side, I agree that the process of socially transitioning in important for children to feel accepted and happy, considering how our society deals badly with what is considered different. I understand it is important to embrace whatever feeling one has over one's own self. This makes the social aspect of transition absolutely positive. On the other hand, I worry about the effects of what we solidify as "gender specific" on people's self view. I believe the culture that claims certain colors, toys, activities and etc are gender specific may play a huge part in the transgender matter, because the transgender person identifies with things and behaviors that are associated with another gender. When in reality, no thing or behavior is really gender specific, or gender determining. I think the root of the problem is accepting that a child, or any person actually, can identify with whatever social preferences they want, and not have to be diagnosed and classified as suffering from a dysphoria for it. Maybe if the society started deconstructing these "unofficial established gender rules", that, for example, associate blue to boys and pink to girls, trucks to boys and dolls to girls, it would be a much happier and accepting place for everyone. But I believe my own opinions doesn't matter near those of the people who are suffering from not being accepted, and I believe whatever helps them is good. My only deep concern comes when hormone therapy or surgery are involved, because even a young adult who is certain of his decisions might have his whole mind set to believe he is something that he is not, simply because he identifies with things that are considered specific to another gender, for no reason at all. Just because society likes to segregate genders. This could lead to deep regret and depression in the future. I think abolishing the way we play gender roles to things would be a solution to stop people from feeling like they are in the wrong bodies. But I do understand people will feel that way anyway, and it is ok. I just mean maybe this would help diminish the problem with children, who are just children, and don't see a gender in toys and clothes and colors until they're told about it.
