"If these children were raised in normal households that recognized that sometimes kids like non-girl/non-boy stuff and left it at that, instead of trying to push a freaky agenda on them, the kids would be fine... But these liberal parents want gay/transgender kids so bad because it's "cool" to them, that they fill the innocent kids heads full of sick ideas that they wouldn't have thought of on their own..."

I doon't think that is the case. I did some reading about the case, and found that the parents took the child to pediatric psychologists and psychiatrists in an attempt to reverse the gender identity problem. It was only after an extensive clinical workup, that the parents took the advice of the psychologists and psychiatrists, and decided to let the child transition.

Trying to force a child into a gender role does not work. If a child has a gender identity that is in agreement with their phenotypic sex, trying to force them into the opposite gender role will not work. The child will rebel. Reference to the the David Reimers case.

However, if a child has a gender identity that is in disagreement with their phenotypic sex, no amount of therapy or pressure is going to be successful in bringing their gender identity into agreement with their phenotypic sex.

children in real life don't have "gender identity problems"...it's a fiction of the new left.. the most common mental illness today is liberalism fostered by modern psychology...
