This paper introduces the topic and unique format of the section that follows, on psychoanalytic work with transgender children. We first review the apparent impasse that characterizes our field regarding clinical work with gender diverse kids, as well as the reasons we pursued a live dialog to push thinking forward. Then, we outline the structure of the entire section, in which four contributors offer short essays, followed by a transcribed and edited version of the dialog we facilitated, which uses these essays as a starting point. We conclude with reflections on some of the themes that arise in the dialog, and implications for all of us who work in the arena of gender and young people.

跨性别儿童：从争议到对话。

本文介绍了以下部分的主题和独特格式，关于跨性别儿童的精神分析工作。我们首先回顾了我们领域在与性别多样化的孩子进行临床工作方面的明显僵局，以及我们进行现场对话以推动思考的原因。然后，我们概述了整个部分的结构，其中四位贡献者提供了短文，然后是我们促成的对话的转录和编辑版本，它以这些短文为起点。最后，我们反思了对话中出现的一些主题，以及对我们所有在性别和青年领域工作的人的影响。
