Abstract

In a time of great confusion about how to deal with children with gender dysphoria, this text aims to contribute to a calm reflection on the rights of these children from the perspective of the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child. To look for the best interests of the child in each decision to be taken, and therefore to evaluate the different rights involved, to take into account the legal criteria that facilitate that evaluation and to weigh the elements that are involved in the situation is not only convenient but an imperative that arises from the conventional text.
