i would love them all the same
i'd like to think i would love my child no matter what. so that, of course, wouldn't change.
as for what i'd do, i think it depends on how old the child was when he or she came to me. i think it would be easier to deal with a young child expressing gender dysmorphia because i know i could be there to support them while they were still developing their identity. allowing them to explore and being there for them while they're growing up could make a huge difference in how well adjusted they become as adults.
if my 20-something came home and told me they were having gender reassignment surgery, i think i might be hurt. not because of the identity, but because they didn't trust me enough to talk to me sooner. still, i would want to do whatever i could to support my child through the transition.
To be honest, it would be a difficult pill to swallow but I would love my child nonetheless. I would have to have a heart to heart conversation with them.
disown them of course... duh!
I'd stand by him or her, and help them figure out who they really are.
