Uh.

Would that be any different than giving your child meds to treat ADD or depression or etc?

Is there anyone who would want to experience gender dysphoria?

I can imagine people would be hesitant to take a drug that changes such a fundamental part of their identity. Remember, you're asking a person who personally identifies as a woman to take a pill that would make them feel as if they were a man. I know of people reticent to take anti-depression medication because they're afraid they'll lose some spark of who they are, and that seems comparatively cut and dried. The idea of such a massive personality shift from male to female sounds kind of terrifying.

And then imagine you had parents forcing their children to take a drug that changes their personality and brain fundamentally against their will.

I don't see how you can argue that merely producing the drug was unethical, though.
