It's mentioned in most articles about him. His parents are awful people who abused that child.

Kimberly turned to a DIY form of conversion therapy. She dressed Kai in camouflage and held her down to cut her blond hair into a flattop. Since most of the family’s seven children are boys—Kimberly has one adult daughter—there were no “girl toys” at home, but Kimberly asked the Christian daycare Kai attended to hide any baby dolls from her as well. When Kai turned her T-shirts into skirts or insisted she was a girl, Kimberly spanked her. When Kai asked for a Minnie Mouse birthday cake, Kimberly bought her one with Mickey.

“No matter how much punishment this kid got, you couldn’t beat it out of her,” Kimberly said. “You couldn’t pray it out, I couldn’t cast it out.”

WTF. I was already upset about the BSC take on trans issues, and now I find out THIS? How fucking homophobic and troubling.

I really wish I could protect all the little GNC boys and girls out there. Give them freedom and space to discover who they are in time, in a safe, loving environment. This poor little boy doesn't have any choice about what is happening to him.

He's also not the only one. If you want to be disturbed further, you can do research on Coy Mathis. No media pieces have looked critically at his family's background. He's not their first "special" child. The mother seems like she has Munchausen by proxy.
