   Erica Anderson, the psychologist in question, has voiced worries about the   
   prevailing approach to addressing gender dysphoria in children and teenagers   
   in the United States. Anderson said that healthcare practitioners need to   
   consider all potential    
   factors contributing to a child’s situation. Instead of immediately   
   reinforcing a child’s affirmed gender, they should explore other potential   
   underlying factors, including issues like abuse history, developmental   
   challenges, anxiety, or depression.   
      
   While some of her colleagues hold the belief that the distress experienced by   
   self-identified trans children mainly originates from gender-related factors,   
   Anderson argued that this is not often the reality. Additionally, she pointed   
   out that the process    
   of exploring one’s gender identity can be susceptible to peer influence,   
   similar to other aspects of teenagers’ lives.
