They go to a gender clinic if the child repeatedly and insistently tells them "I am not a girl, I'm a boy." Or vice versa. <br /><br />Treatment for children outside of allowing them to present as the gender they identify as does not exist until puberty. Then if it is appropriate they are given puberty blockers which are completely reversible if the child decides they do not wish to transition when they are older. <br /><br />Before anyone says we shouldn't give puberty blockers to kids, we already give them to cis kids going through precocious puberty. If they are as dangerous and terrible as transphobic parents claim we shouldn't give them to those children either. <br /><br />We also can't ignore gillick competency in teenage kids. If they are old enough to consent to be on contraceptives because they are sexually active, or have a say in medical procedures that aren't related to their gender, why should they be denied the ability to choose puberty blockers? <br /><br />Its a bunch of fear mongering by transphobes. No surgeries happen on trans kids under the age of 18. That's not a thing. The only treatment available to kids is reversible puberty blockers.
