the father or mother should seriously look at as a potential child abuser... When the word transgender and referring to the sex of an individual like this happens in an article you never know what the actual sex is of the person being reported on.
Me too, until I got to this in the article and realized it was man wanting to be a fake woman:
trans-identified father's "gender affirming" topical estrogen gel (estrogen = trying to be a woman), and
found that the father in question believed he was a woman
You are right!
