Now we have (usually homosexual) parents convincing kids to be transgender, some on hormone therapy before they even reach their teens. I bet they refuse to let these kids change their minds.
It is sickening.
Probably not even homosexual. Likely very liberal heterosexual parents.
I knew this one kid growing up, (Michael) that his mom and dad were straight. They both ( his mom mostly), put her son through all sorts of experiments and surgeries to become a girl. Poor kid was truly messed up by his mom’s decisions / control and dad going along. He would tell us at school that he wanted to be a girl because he liked our clothes. Then later, he would tell kids in the hallway that his mom would not stop with these operations. Most were afraid of him/her because he was not really adjusting to say the least. He tried to kill himself a number of times.
Absolutely. I have seen a number of articles about such families, and always there was a strong, obvious role - usually by a pushy mother - who very much wanted the special status of having a transgender child. They were very invested in the role, and full of talk about their pains in facing up to a homophobic world.
There is a lot of information about trans regret at the following website. The author did an analysis of an interview with "transgender" boy and his mother, and pointed out how she was good at steering him into the conversation she wanted - I can't find the link to that exact story, but the site in general is here:
