This is truly tragic. So many youth are trying to imagine they are like Disney’s sanitized The Little Mermaid, only to discover too late that Hans Christian Andersen’s version reflected reality.
Many of these trans-cult kids take on their “new” names of celebrities that they like. I read one story where some really little boy (7?) said he was a girl and was encouraged by his parents. He wanted his new name to be one of the My Little Pony character’s names (Princess Sparkles or something). His mom suggested Sally or something instead.
